Intro

Verse 1

If I could take it all back to yesterday

Could you try and turn out a different way?

  Is it my understanding? It's hard to keep

  Keep your mind off the new life he made you lead

Pre-chorus 1

You're looking out, I'm looking in

  So I can catch a glimpse of where've you been

Chorus 1

  Why'd it have to be? Everyone can see

  You took it all from me, now I know a lot of thing's wasted

Why'd you have to hurt me so bad? Why'd you tell me

  There was nothing wrong, everything was fine

  You are gone and now I have to face it

I could never stay so sad, so why'd you tell me?

TRANSITION:

Verse 2

If I could make it all up to you somehow

Would you try to make up or break me down?

  Is it your understanding that made you keep

  Keep your mind off the thinking you shouldn't leave

Pre-chorus 2

You're looking out, I'm looking in

  So I can catch a glimpse of where've you been

Chorus 2

  Why'd it have to be? Everyone can see

  You took it all from me, now I know a lot of thing's wasted

Why'd you have to hurt me so bad? Why'd you tell me

  There was nothing wrong, everything was fine

  You are gone and now I have to face it

Why'd you have to hurt me so bad? So why'd you tell me?
