• [Verse 1]
    I thought you were
    Supposed to be there
    But apparently
    You don't care
    I thought you were
    My best friend
    But that just came
    To an end
    I'm not gonna get any
    Sleep tonight
    No, I'm no gonna be alright

    [Chorus]
    Why,
    Did you have to go
    Why,
    You hit a new point a low
    Why,
    Was I too blind to see
    Why, oh, oh, why
    Did this happen to me

    [Verse 2]
    We talked everyday
    Well, until you went away
    Yeah, I'm a little upset
    But I'm still glad we met
    Right now all I got to say
    Is goodbye
    No your not
    Gonna see me cry

    [Chorus]
    Why,
    Did you have to go
    Why,
    You hit a new point a low
    Why,
    Was I too blind to see
    Why, oh, oh, why
    Did this happen to me

    [Bridge]
    I was always there
    Yeah, I always cared
    I might not have been,
    But I still acted
    Like your friend
    I hope that when
    It's late at night
    You hold on
    To your pillow tight
    And think of a way
    To tell me why
    Oh, why
    Yeah, why
    You didn't tell me goodbye

    Why,
    Did you have to go
    Why,
    You hit a new point of low
    Why,
    Was I too blind to see
    Why, oh, oh, why
    Did this happen to...

    Yeah, why didn't you tell me
    Well at least now I'm free
    I'm gonna go out
    And have me some fun
    No, I don't need no one
    Just promise me
    That it won't always
    Just be me
    And that someday,
    While we sit there and cry
    Promise me you'll tell me
    Why
