Tell Me Why

She cast the walls over her heart down

Fell straight for him and couldn't turn around

He made her feel things she never knew, but

She assumed it was to good to be true

 

She always put others infront of her

All she wanted was some love in return

Held so tight on hope, only to be crushed

She wonders why she hasen't given up

 

Choras:

Tell me why! Why doesn't the good girl end up with the guy?

The pain, it lingers, as she falls down to cry

She's given him everything and he chose to walk away

She just wants a chance of love, and for him to stay

 

She drowns in oceans of his care

When he turns and leaves, she's left in despair

Confused and hurt, is she good enough?

Questions if she will, ever get what she wants

 

Grasps at memories, she thinks she wants him gone

She strives to be independent and strong

Held so tight on hope, only to be crushed

She wonders why she can't seem to give him up

 

Choras:

Tell me why! Why doesn't the good girl end up with the guy

The pain it lingers, as she falls down to cry

She's given him everything, and he chose to walk away

She justs wants the chance of love, and for him to stay

 

Bridge:

Ooh he says she's always there for him

Ooh then why can't he be there for her?

Ooh she starts to lock and guard her heart

Ooh then he goes and tears it all apart

What does she have to do to earn his love and care?

 

Last Choras:

Tell me why! Why doesn't the good girl, like me, end up with the guy?

The pain, it lingers, as I fall down to cry!

I've given you more than everything and you just walked away

I love you, and I just want you to stay

 

Tell me why! 

A good girl!

A good girl!

Doesn't end up with the guy....

This song was written about an experience of my own and I felt like writing a song would release the final feelings I had for this anonymous boy. I hope other girls relate to this song as much as I do. I do have a melody for the whole thing and a rythem, so I hope the song is just as good with just reading the lyrics. Thank you for your time:)
