[Verse 1] You left your shoes by the door Like you meant to come back Cold cup on the counter Still got your name on the tag I keep replaying the night Like a song gone wrong You said "I'm fine" Then you were gone [Pre-Chorus] So I stand here With the same old question Hands full of silence And a room full of tension [Chorus] Tell me why Tell me why You let me hold the line Then cut me loose tonight Tell me why Tell me why Your name still burns so bright When you won't meet my eyes [Verse 2] Your coat's still hanging there By the cracked front frame I walk past it slow Like I might say your name The porch step creaks When the wind comes through Every little sound Feels too much like you [Pre-Chorus] So I stand here With the same old question Hands full of silence And a room full of tension [Chorus] Tell me why Tell me why You let me hold the line Then cut me loose tonight Tell me why Tell me why Your name still burns so bright When you won't meet my eyes [Bridge] If you had to leave Why leave the trace? Why leave the thread Right in my face? I don't need a lie I just need the truth One clean reason From you [Chorus] Tell me why Tell me why You let me hold the line Then cut me loose tonight Tell me why Tell me why Your name still burns so bright When you won't meet my eyes Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why
