| Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
|
| Our old picture frames are empty
|
| I burned all your letters, I took off your ring
|
| But what can I do with these memories
|
| Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you’re coming back
|
| But you ain’t coming back
|
| So tell me why, baby, why, baby
|
| Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
|
| I try try, baby, try, baby, try
|
| But your love just won’t leave me alone
|
| I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
|
| Cool the burn, kill the ache
|
| No matter how hard that I
|
| Cry, baby, cry
|
| Why, baby, why?
|
| I close my eyes when I kiss his lips
|
| Praying this time I will see you
|
| I’m real good at lying to everyone else
|
| But I just can’t lie to myself
|
| When the truth is a shadow that follows me
|
| Haunting me just like a ghost, if you’re just a ghost
|
| So tell me why, baby, why, baby
|
| Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
|
| I try try, baby, try, baby, try
|
| But your love just won’t leave me alone
|
| I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
|
| Cool the burn, kill the ache
|
| No matter how hard that I
|
| Cry, baby, cry
|
| Why, baby, why?
|
| I saw your taillights fade into the dark
|
| And my head knows but there’s no convincing my heart
|
| So tell me why, baby, why, baby
|
| Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
|
| I try try, baby, try, baby, try
|
| But your love just won’t leave me alone
|
| I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
|
| Cool the burn, kill the ache
|
| No matter how hard that I
|
| Cry, baby, cry
|
| Why, baby, why? |
