tell me why

cold, a different kind of pain....

i could see her fall from grace
like a movie star too old to change her life
with a bottle by her hand
every night she went away
i would pray for someone else to change her life
if she wouldn't change for me

tell me why
please tell me why
you stole my life

tell me why

just drown her fear in the same old song
everytime you came back frozen deep inside
was it my love that you feared
i was a misfit all the way
never there to help me grow and change my life
then you smiled and walked away

tell me why
please tell me why
you stole my life

tell me why

all the little things she said to me
(said to me)
were broken thoughts and tainted dreams
(tainted dreams)
if she can't take these memories
it doesn't change a thing
(it doesn't change a thing)
every little word she said to me
(said to me)
that broke my heart and stayed with me
(stayed with me)
i wish that she could hear me scream
she never changed a thing

tell me why
please tell me why
you stole my life
life

tell me why

this can't go on
