[Verse 1]
I promised myself I'd never fall for you
Because time has taught me what you would do
'Cause I waited for you through the sorrow and pain
But you played me a fool, a fool in the rain

[Chorus]
And I ask, "Why?"
Why did you forget me? Why did you regret me?
And I scream, "Why?"
Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

[Verse 2]
You promised yourself you'd never fall for me
You said one day, your tears would fall from the sea
I couldn't wait for you because it hurt me so much
And now you're gone, now you're gone
Now love, you're gone

[Chorus]
And I ask, "Why?"
Why did I love you? Nothing but trouble
And I scream, "Why?"
Was I a mistake you couldn't erase?
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
