Lyrics

Why?

Words & Music: Avi Hoffman

My dreams have all gone up in smoke
It?s happened again - Oh - What a joke
I gave you everything I had -
I loved you with my very soul
You took the good and left the bad
Now my heart is black as coal

Refrain -
Why does this always happen to me?
I give my love for all to see
then you turn around and leave
All that I can do is grieve -- Oh

You said you?d love me forever more
I?ve heard it several times before
But every time it hurts anew -
The tears flow freely from my eyes
Just like an actor and his cue
You?ve left my life and my heart cries

Refrain -
Why does this always happen to me?
I give my love for all to see
then you turn around and leave
All that I can do is grieve -- Oh

I can not hate you - Don?t you see
That would be like hating me
For you I only want the best
To hold you in my arms at night
Please don?t put me through this test
Just say you love me and hold me tight

Refrain -
Why does this always happen to me?
I give my love for all to see
then you turn around and leave
All that I can do is grieve -- Oh
