lyrics

I remember those long nights

Writing words by candlelight

Didn’t want to be alone 

But couldn’t take another fight

Black hoodie and spiral bound

Switchfoot and shinedown

Just me and my thoughts now

Why can’t I seem to drown them out

You were supposed to make me stronger

But instead you left me broken

You know life is so much harder

When your heart is breaking open, open

Ooo

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo

Why did you have to be so

Cruel

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo, Ooo

Now I’m in a new town
Left the past behind now
But it still shows up now and then
To tell me I’m a let-down
Black hoodie and spiral bound

The words come alive now
All the truth that I’ve found
And nobody can drown it out

You were supposed to make me stronger

But instead you left me broken

I was blinded by the darkness

But now my eyes are open, open

Ooo

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo

Why did you have to be so

Cruel

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo, Ooo

Ooo

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo

Why did you have to be so

Cruel

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo, Ooo


I’m breaking away from
Breaking away from
Breaking away from you

I’m runnin’ to somethin'
I’m runnin’ to somethin’
Runnin’ to somethin’ new


I’m breaking away from
Breaking away from
Breaking away from you

I’m runnin’ to somethin'
I’m runnin’ to somethin’
Runnin’ to somethin’ new


Ooo

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo

Why did you have to be so

Cruel

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo, Ooo

Ooo

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo

Why did you have to be so

Cruel

Why did you have to leave me like this

Ooo, Ooo
