[Intro]
(Instrumental piano intro, melancholic yet hopeful)
[Verse 1]
He found love, and it wasn't me, no
Why, why, why does it hurt so deep?
I smile for him, play the supportive friend
He sees the tears I try to hide, pretend
He asks "What's wrong?" I just say "Nothing, see?"
Then watch him kiss her, wishing it was me
It cuts so deep, this constant, aching sigh
Oh, why do I even try?
[Chorus]
Why, why, why? Tell me why
Love found him, but passed me by
Love found him, and my love just died
Why, why, why? Tell me why
He found someone else, left me here to cry
Love found him, and my love just died
[Verse 2]
Late night calls, he shows me what I miss
His smile, his laugh, even his sculpted abs (Someone explain this?)
Confusion reigns, mixed signals in the air
While silently, I d***n in deep despair
I... just... found... love... or thought I had
But he moved on, left my whole world sad
Love found, love lost, tell me why it ends
Left with broken pieces, shattered friends
[Chorus]
Why, why, why? Tell me why
Love found him, but passed me by
Love found him, and my love just died
Why, why, why? Tell me why
He found someone else, left me here to cry
Love found him, and my love just died
[Bridge]
Then he was gone, silence filled the space
No more calls, no more seeing his face
He texted once, "Tell me what's wrong before I go"
But fear held me tight, words wouldn't flow
Now he'll never know, never hear my plea
The truth I hid, what he meant to me
The chance is lost, a ghost of might-have-been
Regret is sharp beneath my tired skin
[Verse 3]
Four long years, the pain began to fade
Or so I thought, the price that time had paid
Then in a crowd, a familiar silhouette
My heart stopped cold, a face I can't forget
It... was... him... standing right there
Before I knew it, running through the air
"I hugged him," tight, the words just tumbled free
"Missed you, missed you, and I'm sorry"
(Missed him, missed him) Why, why, why?
[Chorus]
Why, why, why? Tell me why
Love found him, but passed me by
Love found him, and my love just died
Why, why, why? Tell me why
He found someone else, left me here to cry
Love found him, and my love just died
[Outro]
(Instrumental outro, piano fading slowly with a final unresolved chord, echoing the lingering "why")
