You tell me you're gone
But you don't tell me the reason
Why I must be alone with this much confusion
You tell me it's better to spare me the pain
But you leave me the mystery to drive me insane

I just wanna know why, I just wanna know
Cause if I knew why I can let it go
And ease my mind and make some sense of it
I just wanna know why

I waited a long time for love to come
The first sign of trouble then you're gonna run
Before you leave me alone
I just wanna know why

Outside the window the season is changed
The feelings I felt then it all stayed the same
And in through that window comes a cruel light of dawn
It sheds no light on the question of where I went wrong

I just wanna know why, I just wanna know
Cause if I knew why I can let it go
And ease my mind and make some sense of it
I just wanna know why

I waited a long time for love to come
The first sign of trouble then you're gonna run
Before you leave me alone
I just wanna know why

Tell me something that I don't know
If I hurt you I'm unaware
There's a reason for everything
So why are some things so unfare

I just wanna know why, I just wanna know
Cause if I knew why I can let it go
And ease my mind and make some sense of it
I just wanna know why

I waited a long time for love to come
The first sign of trouble then you're gonna run
Before you leave me alone
I just wanna know why

I just wanna know why yeah
I just wanna know why
