Wash away those tears
And look me in the eyes
I'll make it clear
This time you don't have to fear
I know I've made my mistakes
But I can't change, I can't fix the past
I know I'm not good enough
But still you come back for more

So tell me, tell me
Why you never left?
When I told you, told you
I'll always be there
And every promise I can't keep, can't make
Never seem to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left?
When all I did was wrong?

I could tell you how
I wanted things to be
And why right now
I'm saying you don't have to fear
I know, I've been gone away
But I can't change, I can't us back
I know, I'm not good enough
But I won't try this time
I'll do what it takes

So tell me, tell me
Why you never left?
When I told you, told you
I'll always be there
And every promise I can't keep, can't make
Never seem to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left?
When all I did was wrong?

I've always meant what I said
But so many things have not been said
I promise you I am done
Believing and saying things
I'll never do
So tell me, tell me
Why you never left?
When I told you, told you
I'll always be there
And every promise I can't keep, can't make
Never seem to bring you down
So tell me, tell me why you never left?
When all I did was wrong?
