[Verse 1] We talked for hours and hours Like the world had logged off Every word you were throwing I was catching soft Didn’t matter what you said Couldn’t put me off It felt like fate in a chat box glow Like lightning through a wire I didn’t know [Pre-Chorus] You laughed and I felt it I swear I saw the signs Then your name went grey And so did mine [Chorus] But why? We were fire in the late-night sky CF girl in an SA town You had me at “hi” Still do — and I don’t know how Now it’s just silence amplified You talked your way into my heart Now my chest reads “dead inside” Tell me why… Just tell me why [Verse 2] We built whole worlds from nothing Heroes, movies, songs Cwtches on a Sunday Where we both belonged Snuggled up on sofa dreams Pillow-hogging sleep-ins All those little “someday” things That never got to begin [Pre-Chorus] You talked your way into my heart Brick by fragile brick Now there’s an empty space Where you just… clicked [Chorus] But why? We were dancing on a thin blue line Single you and single me Perfect place, wrong time Now it’s just ghosts in my replies An empty wall of empty lives You talked your way into my heart Now my chest reads “dead inside” But why… Tell me why [Bridge – stripped back, almost spoken] No goodbye No reason No crack in the door Just deleted Like I was nothing before Was it fear? Was it timing? Was it someone new? Or did I just mean Less than I thought I do? [Final Chorus – bigger, rawer] But why? We were something, you can’t deny You don’t talk like that If you don’t feel something inside Now I’m staring at a vanished light Typing words I’ll never send tonight You talked your way into my heart Now I don’t know how to say goodbye Tell me why… Just tell me why
