Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things Our old picture frames are empty I burned all your letters, I took off your ring But what can I do with these memories Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back But you ain't coming back
So tell me why, baby, why, baby Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? I try try, baby, try, baby, try But your love just won't leave me alone I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain Cool the burn, kill the ache No matter how hard that I Cry, baby, cry Why, baby, why?
I close my eyes when I kiss his lips Praying this time I will see you I'm real good at lying to everyone else But I just can't lie to myself When the truth is a shadow that follows me Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost
So tell me why, baby, why, baby Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? I try try, baby, try, baby, try But your love just won't leave me alone I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain Cool the burn, kill the ache No matter how hard that I Cry, baby, cry Why, baby, why?
I saw your taillights fade into the dark And my head knows but there's no convincing my heart
So tell me why, baby, why, baby Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? I try try, baby, try, baby, try But your love just won't leave me alone I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain Cool the burn, kill the ache No matter how hard that I Cry, baby, cry Why, baby, why?
