[Verse 1]
Maybe what we had
Was never really true…
All those late-night messages
Never got through to you.
Every “I love you”
Fell like rain on stone,
Started out so sudden…
Now I’m here alone.
[Hook – Blues repetition]
Why do I still chase you…
When you let me go?
Why do I still chase you…
When you let me go?
I’m still tasting honey
From a love that turned cold.
[Verse 2]
Tell me, should I stop knocking
On a closed down door?
You put a period on “us,”
Didn’t want it anymore.
Was it jealousy, baby?
Did I hold too tight?
Tell me was it you…
Or did I lose the fight?
[Hook]
Why do I still chase you…
When you let me go?
I’m still missing your skin
In the midnight glow.
[Bridge – slow, spoken blues feel]
I don’t understand what failed,
Love was always there…
We were fire in the daylight,
Now we’re smoke in the air.
[Final Hook – bigger]
Why do I still chase you…
When you don’t look back at me?
Why do I still chase you…
When you don’t look back at me?
Guess I’m dying a little slower
In this broken melody…
