Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
It's been several years since I've shed any tears because of you
As time went by I ceased to question why you said goodbye
Now you've come around, what do you want now?
[CHORUS 1]
Why, oh why did you dismiss me so easily?
Why, oh why did you decide to break my heart?
I'll love you 'till the day I die, even though you're not by my side
Why, oh why did you say goodbye? You said,
[VERSE 2]
I have a dream, my true love will always be invincible
And it's not you, to you I can't be true... what can I do?
I've got to let you go, here's what you should know
[CHORUS 2]
Why, oh why have you come to hate me so easily?
I tried, I tried to make you understand I'm just a man
I'll love you 'till the day I die, even though you're not by my side
I only have one reason why I said goodbye
[BRIDGE]
Goodbye's make me cry
[OUTRO CHORUS]
Why, oh why couldn't you stay with me? It's easy
Why, oh why did I trust you with my heart?
Tell me what was I thinkin'?
I'll never make that mistake again
I don't owe you a reason why
I'm sayin', I'm sayin' goodbye... why, oh why?
