lyrics

Tell Me Why

A mountain before me
One that I will never climb
It's now there to haunt me
The peak was for you and I
Now I have my memories
But I have been so unsure
Cause each day my life brings
A sadness that can't be cured

Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why it had to be you
Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why you had to be the one

One day there's a plateau
Leads me to a peaceful past
And I think of the good times
But suddenly it's downhill fast
Then I'm on to a new trail
Takes me to the love we shared
Life takes a stumble
Then you're gone and I am so scared

Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why it had to be you
Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why you had to be the one

Together we'd reach a new peak
We'd make the top everytime
So much love we couldn't be beat
Nothing could stop our great climb
We spent our years close to the sky
Higher than each time before
But suddenly the ledge gives away
And my life is forever torn

A valley before me
One that I may never cross
The fall has destroyed me
It's left me confused and lost

Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why it had to be you
Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why you had to be the one

Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why it had to be you
Tell me why....Tell me why
Tell me why you had to be the one

Tell me why..tell me why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me why tell me why
Tell me whyyyy

Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me why
Tell me why tell me whyyyyy

Tell my why...........repeat and fade
