[Intro]
mm-mm
one thing
(just one thing)
before I let this go
(if I can)
[Verse 1]
you deleted me
and that was it
(no warning)
no explanation
no goodbye
one day we were talking
like nothing was wrong
(next day)
next thing I know
you're gone
and maybe you had reasons
(maybe)
maybe they made sense
but you left me here
trying to guess them
all by myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need a second chance
(no)
I don't need you back
I just don't understand
[Chorus]
can I just ask why?
(why?)
why did you stop talking to me?
why did you throw away
everything we had
without saying a thing?
was it something I did?
(something I missed?)
something I said?
cause I replay it all
over and over
(still do)
trying to find the moment
you changed your mind
can I just ask why?
[Post-Chorus]
oh-oh
just tell me why
yeah-yeah
that's all I wanted
[Verse 2]
I would've preferred the truth
(even then)
even if it hurt
even if the answer
made everything worse
instead I got silence
and somehow that's harder
(it is)
cause silence turns into
a hundred different answers
and every one of them
sounds like my fault
(and I hate that)
[Pre-Chorus]
maybe it isn't
(maybe not)
but I'll never know
[Chorus]
can I just ask why?
(why?)
why did you stop talking to me?
why did you make it look
so easy
to leave me behind?
was I really that easy
to lose?
cause I still remember
conversations
you probably forgot
(long ago)
[Bridge]
I don't need fixing
(no)
I don't need saving
I don't need promises
or apologies
just tell me
what happened
cause not knowing
has followed me longer
than you did
(still here)
[Chorus]
can I just ask why?
(just tell me why)
why did you stop wanting
to be my friend?
why did you throw me away
like I was nothing?
cause maybe I could accept it
(if I knew)
if I understood it
but all these years later
I'm still sitting here
with the same question
the same question
can I just ask why?
[Outro]
mm-mm
I think that's the hardest part
(the hardest part)
mm-mm
you left
and took the explanation
with you
(no answer)
mm-mm
and somehow
that's what stayed
Beexii
