[Intro]
Why, oh why, can't you see?
This love was meant to be free,
Now I'm drowning in your game,
Feels like I'm the one to blame.
[Verse 1]
Thought I'd found a love so true,
Diving deep, I chose you,
Put my heart and soul on the line,
Believing love would be divine.
But shadows creep in your sweet smile,
Turning hugs into denial,
Every word that you say feels like a knife,
Chasing dreams, am I losing my life?
[Pre-Chorus]
Why, oh why, do you play this part?
Breathing fire to my heart,
A single mom, I've been through hell,
And still, there's so much I could tell.
[Chorus]
Why’d you choose to manipulate?
This love you twisted into hate,
Can't you see I’m just in pain?
Why must I be your hurricane?
It's harder to pretend than to be real,
But I’m the one that you conceal,
A prisoner in this love you’ve blessed,
Why can’t you set me free? I’ve guessed.
[Bridge]
Building walls with every lie,
I’m just a heart that dares to fly,
How can you break and still be whole?
My love's the fire in your cold soul.
Let me go, I deserve to breathe,
Not chained to you, it’s time to leave.
[Verse 2]
Every tear that falls like rain,
Can’t you feel my heart’s refrain?
Why would you want to darken my skies?
When love is true, it never lies.
I gave my all, my every chance,
But you chose to play a cruel stance.
Living through hell with every blow,
Why can’t you just let me go?
[Chorus]
Why’d you choose to manipulate?
This love you twisted into hate,
Can't you see I’m just in pain?
Why must I be your hurricane?
It's harder to pretend than to be real,
But I’m the one that you conceal,
A prisoner in this love you’ve blessed,
Why can’t you set me free? I’ve guessed.
[Outro]
So here I stand, my heart laid bare,
Was it a game or did you care?
If love's a risk, then I’ll take flight,
No more shadows, I’ll find my light.
