Lyrics
Verse
I gave you my mornings, I gave you my nights,
I held you through storms, I stood by your side.
But you looked right past me, like I wasn’t there,
I poured out my heart, you just didn’t care.
Chorus
Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?
Why couldn’t you hold on when I gave you the truth?
I begged for forever, you just walked away,
Now I’m left with the silence, and words I can’t say.
Verse
I dreamed of a life with your hand in mine,
But dreams fade to ashes when love’s just a lie.
You found your freedom, I found the pain,
I’m drowning in memories that whisper your name.
Chorus
Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?
Why couldn’t you hold on when I gave you the truth?
I begged for forever, you just walked away,
Now I’m left with the silence, and words I can’t say.
Bridge
Maybe I wasn’t the one you were needin’,
But I gave you my soul, I gave it with meaning.
Now I’m just a shadow of who I once was,
Broken and bleeding from your kind of love.
Chorus
Why couldn’t you love me the way that I loved you?
Why couldn’t you stay when I begged you to choose?
I gave you my everything, you threw it away,
And I’m left here still wonderin’… why couldn’t you love me?
