Why Does It Hurt Like This

(Verse 1)

Why do your eyes still follow me,

when your words have lost their fire?

Why does your silence scream so loud,

when all I wanted was desire?

I reach for you — but it’s the air,

your warmth is gone, yet you’re still there.

(Pre-Chorus)

Was it me who changed, or you who turned away?

Why does love feel colder every day?

(Chorus)

Why does it hurt like this, when I still care?

Why am I fighting for a ghost that isn’t there?

Why does your touch feel miles apart,

when you’re lying right beside my heart?

Tell me — where did we go wrong,

when did silence become our song?

(Verse 2)

Why do I dream of what we were,

when I wake up to what we’re not?

Why does your voice still break my peace,

though I try to forget the thought?

Was it love or just the fear,

of losing the only thing I held near?

(Pre-Chorus)

Do you feel the same storm in your chest?

Or am I the only one who can’t rest?

(Chorus)

Why does it hurt like this, when I still care?

Why am I fighting for a ghost that isn’t there?

Why does your touch feel miles apart,

when you’re lying right beside my heart?

Tell me — where did we go wrong,

when did silence become our song?

(Bridge)

Is love supposed to fade like smoke?

Did we both forget the words we spoke?

Was I too much — or not enough?

Why is goodbye the only love?

(Final Chorus)

Why does it hurt like this, when I still care?

Why do I stay when you’re not there?

Why can’t I breathe without your sound,

when I know we’re just lost, not found?

Tell me — where did we go wrong,

and how do I move on…

from the silence between our song?
