Why Did You Leave Me, Deanna?

[Intro]
Tell me, Deanna, why?
Why did you let me cry?
I stood so faithful, I tried
But you left me high and dry

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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?
