Verse 1 I keep replaying The last few months Like somewhere in the middle I missed something You were still kissing me Like nothing changed Still making plans Still saying my name The same way And I was sleeping Right beside you Thinking we were Working through it While you were already Halfway gone And somehow I was the last To know it Pre-Chorus I could ask When you stopped meaning it Ask how long She knew my name Ask if you ever felt guilty Watching me Take all the blame But every answer Makes another question And every question Leads me right back To the same… Chorus Why Did you build me up To break me down? Why Did you call my phone With her around? Why Tell me you love me Just to leave me? Why Have me holding on To something You didn’t believe? If you already knew You weren’t choosing me Why? Verse 2 Did she know When you said “goodnight” You were coming home And laying next to me? Did you tell her I was almost gone Or leave out the part Where I still had your key? I’m not asking ’Cause I want you back That ain’t what This is about I just wanna know How you watched me Fight for us While you were finding Your way out And what hurts most Ain’t even her It’s knowing You let me try You watched me Keep fixing something You had already Decided Could die Pre-Chorus I could ask What she had that I didn’t Ask what made you Change your mind Ask if anything Between us Was ever really mine But every answer Makes another question And every question Leads me right back To the same… Chorus Why Did you build me up To break me down? Why Did you call my phone With her around? Why Tell me you love me Just to leave me? Why Have me holding on To something You didn’t believe? If you already knew You weren’t choosing me Why? Bridge Maybe that’s the part I’ll never understand You could’ve told me You were done I would’ve cried I would’ve hurt But eventually I would’ve let you go Instead You kept giving me Just enough To make leaving Feel like giving up And I kept thinking Love meant fighting While you knew There was nothing Left to fight for So tell me… Was I loving you? Or was I just The last person You forgot to tell It was over? Final Chorus Why Did you build me up To break me down? Why Did you call my phone With her around? Why Let me believe You still needed me? Why Have me holding on To something You didn’t believe? Why let me Keep choosing you When you had already Chosen differently? Why let me Question my worth When the truth Was something You refused to give me? I could ask you A thousand ways But you could never Give me back The time I gave So maybe… I don’t need To know Why. Outro I think that’s What hurts… I spent so long Waiting for an answer Like understanding you Would somehow Undo what you did It won’t. So… Keep your answer. I’m done Asking why.
