Why did you promise me the stars,
Only to leave me in the dark?
Why did you vow to love me true,
Only to leave me feeling blue?

I gave you my heart, my soul, my all,
But you crushed it, like a fragile wall.
I thought our love would forever shine,
But now I'm left with just a fading sign.

Why did you say you needed me,
When all you wanted was to set me free?
Why did you whisper sweet nothings in my ear,
Only to disappear, without a tear?

I hoped for love, for a gentle touch,
But your hands were cold, your heart too much.
I longed for kindness, for a loving gaze,
But your eyes were empty, your love a haze.

Now I'm left to wonder, to ask why,
Why our love story ended, before it even tried.
Why did you lead me on, only to let me down?
Why did our love fizzle out, like a dying sound?

I'll pick up the pieces of my heart,
And learn to love again, a brand new start.
But for now, I'll ask, I'll wonder why,
Why our love didn't work, why you said goodbye.
