Promises meant the world to me
  When they were plans of what our love would bring
  I couldn't wait for the time to see
  Your promises became reality
  But then one day things weren't the same
  I tried to figure out what changed
  Next day, you weren't there with me
  A sense of loneliness I couldn't believe
    You told me that you would always love me
  How could you break this promise to me, baby?
  So why did you have to leave?
  Me with the wrong impression
  Now all I do is question
    Why
  Did you have to break my heart? (Break my heart)
  Why (why, why)
  Did our love fall apart, boy? (Boy)
  Why (Why)
  Did everything seem so right just (Ooh)
  Tell me baby, won't you tell me
  Why
  Did you give up on loving me? (Loving me)
  Why
  When you had everything you needed? (thing you needed, yeah)
  Why
  How did our love just disappear?
  Tell me baby, won't you tell me
  Why
    Can you explain why you would up and leave
  When all seemed well between you and me
  Don't understand how you could let this be
  A life without you being here with me
  I can't believe that you are gone
  What could I have possibly done wrong
  I've never hurt or caused any pain
  That would make you leave me this way
  Oh, baby
    You told me that you would always love me
  How could you break this promise to me, babe?
  So why did you have to leave?
  Me with the wrong impression
  Now all I do is question
    Why (Why, ooh, yeah)
  Did you have to break my heart?
  Why
  Did our love fall apart, boy? (why, did it fall apart boy)
  Why
  Did everything seem so right just
  Tell me baby, won't you tell me
  Why (why)
  Did you give up on loving me? (baby)
  Why (tell me why)
  When you had everything you needed?
  Why (how am i)
  How did our love just disappear? (baby, please tell me)
  Tell me baby, won't you tell me

  Did you have to break my heart? (oo and why!)
  Why
  Did our love fall apart, boy? (our love just fall apart, boy)

  Without knowing that one day soon (one day soon)
  You would take away from me (take away)
  What had meant the world to me (ooo)
  Didn't all the promises
  You made to me
  About our love
  Mean anything
  And I can't believe that you and me
  Are not to be
  So can you tell me
    Why
  Did you have to break my heart?
