If I lie alone at night
Riches within my eyes
Because you're gonna walk away
Took my heart and left me
Standing there alone in pain
As you turned and walked away and left
Tell me why didn't you set me free

How could you after all I gave
Just go away throw my love away
Girl please, just tell me why you had to say goodbye
How do I erase your memories
If you're holding me
How do I escape the pain
Since you've gone and set me free
How long must I go on
Feeling emptiness inside
Trapped so right by the memories of you and I

Here I am still to this day
With memories that still remain
Of a love that wasn't true
Betrayed my heart and left me
Standing there just like a fool
After all I've done for you my love
Tell me how could you be so cruel

Why did you take the love I gave
Then go and throw it all away
Girl please, just tell me why you had to say goodbye
How do I erase your memories
If you're holding me
How do I escape the pain
Since you've gone and set me free
How long must I go on
Feeling emptiness inside
Trapped so right by the memories of you and I

How could you, after all I gave
Just go and throw the love away
Girl please, just tell me why you had to say goodbye
How do I erase your memories
If you're holding me
How do I escape the pain
Since you've gone and set me free
How long must I go on
Feeling emptiness inside
Trapped so right by the memories of you and I
