[Intro]
Quiet now, the silence screams
Broken dreams and shattered themes
Looking back, I wonder why
Lost beneath the battered sky
[Verse 1]
Jack was just a simple man
Loved Deanna, held her hand
She played her games, a master plan
A shadow hiding all she can
[Pre-Chorus]
He asked himself, why me?
Why did you set me free?
Held tight in your control
Never knew a loveless hole
[Chorus]
Deanna, why did you turn away?
Leaving him in disarray
He loved you, fought for you
But you chose the night, not the truth
Now he's broken, trying to heal
Lost in a world so unreal
Deanna, was it all for you?
Or was love just a game you knew?
[Verse 2]
After the pain, after the jail
He thought love could break the spell
Gaslighted, bruised, and betrayed
In the night, he lost his way
[Pre-Chorus]
He wondered, was there more?
Beyond this war, this closed door?
All the blame, all the scars
Left him searching for who we are
[Chorus]
Deanna, why did you turn away?
Leaving him in disarray
He loved you, fought for you
But you chose the night, not the truth
Now he's broken, trying to heal
Lost in a world so unreal
Deanna, was it all for you?
Or was love just a game you knew?
[Bridge]
Chasing shadows, chasing lines
Running from the broken signs
Can he find a way to start anew?
Leave behind the cold, bitter view
[Outro]
Now he stands, alone at last
Looking forward, not the past
A new dawn, a brighter day
Trying to find his own way
[Powerful finish]
Why, Deanna? Why?
Love shouldn't be a lie
He’s searching, he's fighting
For the peace he's been denying
