Ooh
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
That without me, your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me

CHORUS:
Tell me why, oh, why
Did we end up this way
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

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 were through

What made you think that without me,
Your life would be so much better, but now, you see
That without me, your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me

CHORUS (2x)

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

BREAK

Can you tell me?

CHORUS (3x)
