Tell Me Why Lyrics
Oooh...
We could have had it all
But you turned your back
It started with dreams
It started a team
But you weren't as true as you always seemed
You promised to love
No matter what
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
What made you think
That without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see
That here without me
Your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me
So tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
You never thought
I would find out
All of the things you said about us
When you're the one who
Decided to
Erase all our plans and say you were through
What made you think
That without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see
That here without me
Your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me
So tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
Tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
Now tell me was it
Your plan all along
To try and use me
And then let go
Now where is the trust
We had between us
I guess that you never played by the rules
Can you tell me
Tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
Tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
Tell me why (oh why)
Did we end up this way
When we tried (we tried)
To make everything ok
Tell me why (oh why)
Did you feel you couldn't stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
We could have had it all
But you turned your back
It started a team
But you weren't as true as you always seemed

Awww come on man! This song is great also. When I still had this cd in a place where I could find it, I used to listen to this song all the time. This song can be about 2 things. It could be about Ginger Spice, or about a relationship that someone tried to make work and only one was trying and the other didn't give a care.
I agree with Prowler Kid, it sounds like a song about a relationship gone bad, but it would work as a song about Geri. Personally I think it's about Geri
