You took my heart and you tore it to pieces
You gave me love and then quickly retrieved it
Why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why, oh why?

Why can't you see that you're breaking a lover's heart?
Why can't you see that you're just tearin' my life 
apart?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why, oh why?

You let me feel that I was just what you needed
Then you turned round and said “Why don't we leave it?”
Why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn't I see? Oh why?

Why can't you see that you're breaking a lover's heart?
Why can't you see that you're just tearin' my life 
apart?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why, oh why?

You let me think that I was just what you needed
Then you turned round and said “Why don't we leave it?”
Why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Oh, why couldn't I see? Oh why?
Why couldn't I see? Oh why, oh why?

This chord is for you

Don't bring me down, don't bring me down
You're screwing my head with confusion all around
