Song Lyrics

Why'd ya have to ruin my life?
Why'd ya have to be so mean?
Why'd ya have to tell me such lies?
Why not be straight with me?

You lied to my face
When I told you my place was feeling present
Dared at telling the truth
You chose to take a familiar route
I've died just to bury all the questions
I've died just to bury all the questions

Why'd ya have to ruin my life?
Why'd ya have to be so mean?
Why'd ya have to tell me such lies?
Why not be straight with me?

It's obvious now
You were falling so very enchanted
You still honored my name in public
And pretended to be so romantic
Pretended to be so romantic
Pretended to be so romantic

Why'd ya have to ruin my life?
Why'd ya have to be so mean?
Why'd ya have to tell me such lies?
Why not be straight with me?

You hurt me so bad
You were the best love I ever had
There's nothing right I can say
They let you off the hook all the way
They let you off the hook all the way

Why'd ya have to ruin my life?
Why'd ya have to be so mean?
Why'd ya have to tell me such lies?
Why not be straight with me?

Why'd ya have to ruin my life?
Why'd ya have to be so mean?
Why'd ya have to tell me such lies?
Why not be straight with me?
