Why Did You Leave Me, Deanna?

Tell me, Deanna, why?

Why did you let me cry?

I stood so faithful, I tried

But you left me high and dry

You said I was your world, your only song

We were in this together, strong all along

Through the storms and the rain, we belonged

But now the silence feels so wrong

You said you loved me, deep in your soul

But now it's like I don't even know

What I did, where I went wrong?

Left me broken, all alone

Tell me why, Deanna, tell me why

You lied with your sweet but empty eyes

Why did you turn and say goodbye?

Tell me why, tell me why

Why did you hurt me, why?

Why did you make me cry?

Deanna, oh, I can't deny

I loved you, but you let me die

Months of torture, a year and a half

Knowing you'd leave, feeling the aftermath

You knew you'd hurt me, yet you laughed

Now I'm lost in the aftermath

You manipulated, gaslighted, played a game

Took control, I was to blame

But I was blinded by your flame

Now I'm calling out your name

Tell me why, Deanna, tell me why

You lied with your sweet but empty eyes

Why did you turn and say goodbye?

Tell me why, tell me why

Why did you hurt me, why?

Why did you make me cry?

Deanna, oh, I can't deny

I loved you, but you let me die

I took the fall, a false charge,

Just to be with you, my heart large

Now I see through the facade, the mirage

Deanna, I’m lost in the damage

Why, Deanna, why?

Can’t you see I loved you so?

Now I just need to know

Tell me why, tell me why

Why you let me go?
