TELL ME WHY

​STORY

The question you ask when the answer is already in front of you. Tell Me Why is the moment a love turns cold and the person you knew becomes a stranger — and there is nothing left worth saving.

LYRICS

I close my eyes, even in my dreams you’re leaving

How can you be so cold to me

Long ago, I felt your love was there to save me

Now you seem like a stranger to me

Tell me why, tell me why

There’s nothing here worth saving if our love has come to lies

Tell me why

Long ago, I held in my hands a love so precious

You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone

Day by day, I’ve lived to regret it

You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone

Tell me why, tell me why

There’s nothing here worth saving if our love has come to lies

Tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why

There’s nothing here worth saving I can see it in your eyes

Tell me why
