Why, Oh Why 2000

Brave Combo · Other Songs - Brave Combo

We were so happy

That's what I thought

We were so much in love

I never heard

A cross word from you

What were you thinking of

Chorus:

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why

Did you leave me high and dry?

Now all I do is cry

Oh why, oh why

Try to remember

Just how you felt

When I first caught your eye

Now that you've gone

My world's upside down

You sure took me by surprise

Chorus

My shattered ego

Can't take the pain

I guess I'll fall apart

When you walked out

You took all my dreams

And left me this broken heart

Chorus
