Oooh
  We could have had it all
  But you turned your back
    We started with dreams
  We started a team
  But you weren't as true as you always seemed
  You promised to love
  No matter what
  Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
    What made you think
  That without me
  Your life would be so much better but now you see (oh-oh, but now you see)
  That without me
  Your hopes and dreams (your hopes and your dreams)
  Will never be as good as what you had with me
    Tell me why, oh why (so tell me why)
  Did we end up this way
  When we tried, we tried (we tried)
  To make everything okay (oooh)
  Tell me why, oh why
  Did you feel you couldn't stay
  When we could have stayed together
  But you wanted it this way
    You never thought
  That I would find out
  All of the things you said about us
  When you're the one who
  Decided to
  Erase all our plans and say you approved
    What made you think
  That without me
  Your life would be so much better but now you see (so much
  better, but now you see)
  That without me (without me)
  Your hopes and dreams (they will never)
  Will never be as good as what you had with me (had with me)
    Tell me why, oh why (tell me why)
  Did we end up this way (did we end up this why)
  When we tried, we tried (when we tried)
  To make everything okay (yes we did)
  Tell me why, oh why
  Did you feel you couldn't stay (did you feel you couldn't stay)
  When we could have stayed together (we could have stayed)
  But you wanted it this way
    Tell me why, oh why (did we end up this way)
  Did we end up this way (I thought it was okay)
  When we tried, we tried
  To make everything okay (we tried, tried, tried so hard)
  Tell me why, oh why
  Did you feel you couldn't stay (but it was you who wanted to leave)
  When we could have stayed together
  But you wanted it this way
    Now tell me was it
  Your plan all along
  To try and use me, and then let go
  Now where is the trust
  We had between us
  I guess that you, never played by the rules
    Can you tell me
    Tell me why, oh why
  Did we end up this way
  When we tried, we tried
  To make everything okay (we tried, we tried again)
  Tell me why, oh why (yes we did)
  Did you feel you couldn't stay
  When we could have stayed together
  (you felt you couldn't stay, but you wanted it this way)
  But you wanted it this way
    Tell me why, oh why (oh tell me why)
  Did we end up this way
  When we tried, we tried (we always tried again)
  To make everything okay (we always tried again)
  Tell me why, oh why (somebody tell me why)
  Did you feel you couldn't stay
  When we could have stayed together
  But you wanted it this way (you wanted this way)
    Tell me why, oh why (whoa-oh tell me why)
  Did we end up this way (yeah-yeah-yeah)
  When we tried, we tried
  To make everything okay
  Tell me why, oh why
  Did you feel you couldn't stay
  When we could have stayed together
  But you wanted it this way
