Song Description

Conflicting emotions make it hard to break up.

Lyrics

So many times I tried to say it was over
That I can?t go on with things the way they are
But each time you convinced me
our love deserved a chance
And though we?d try, we?d never get too far
I don?t know what it is
But the feeling is so strong
It keeps pulling on my heartstrings
tells me not to let you go
I don?t want to be without you
but sometimes it hurts too much
It would be so much simpler
if I didn?t love you so

(CHORUS): Tell me why,
why when I say goodbye
do the tears come to my eyes
and betray the words I say to you
Tell me why, why when I say goodbye
Do the memories comes to mind
of a time when I knew your love was mine
I just knew

Oh, I just knew

You think I?m unkind
?cause I won?t let you come back
You think how can I say I love you
and walk away
It?s because within my heart
I know that nothing?s changing
I hope that you can understand one day
I need more than a lover,
I need to know that I belong
I need to know that when I?m weak
you will be strong
Please understand, though this is painful
I need my happiness
I know it isn?t easy
but I think it?s for the best

Tell me why
? my eyes ?
and betray the words I say to you
Tell me why, why when I say goodbye
Do the memories come to mind of a time
when I knew your love was mine
Why

(ad lib)

~Guitar solo~

Your memory won?t fade
Won?t fade away
Remember the time
When your lovin? was mine

Your memory won?t fade
Won?t fade away
Remember the time
When your lovin was mine all mine,
Why when I say goodbye,
Tell me why
