Lyrics

Why Didn't You Love Me Back

I remember that cold winter night
When I knocked on your door with the news
Dad was gone, to a better place we know
But still he was so hard for me to lose
Then you held me tight
You said you'd help me through the night
You said you'd never leave; you'd stay by my side

Chorus
Why didn't you love me back?
When I showed you that I cared
And I gave you everything that I had
Why didn't you love me back?
I've held it in for all these years
And I've tried my best, to hold back the tears
Time can heal some wounds
It can ease a lot of pain
It can make you think
You've got your life, together again
But one thing it can't do
Is make me stop, thinking of you
Why didn't you love me back?

We talked for hours till the dawn
But it seemed just like a minute or two
In a moment, an instant in time
I realized, I was falling for you
I thought you and I were meant to be
For all eternity
But you never felt the same way for me

Chorus

Refrain
Why didn't you love me back?
I've held it in for all these years
And I've tried my best, to hold back the tears
Why didn't you love me back?
Why didn't you love me back?
Why didn't you love me back?
