Lyrics
Another night he's out alone
He's struggling to try and cope
With all the conflict deep inside
He knows he should be heading home
She'll start to wonder where he's gone
But it's the chance he'll take tonight
Potentially a sacrifice
A careless kind of compromise
That risks the life he's tried to build
He tries but he cannot forget
About the double life he's led
His conscience echoes out of guilt
(Why'd you do this?
Why'd you do this?)
Why'd you mess this up
Just to mess around?
Why'd you give this up
Just to let her down?
Why'd you even bother
To give her all you had
If all that you would do is
Mess around behind her back?
She sees the headlights as the car pulls up
She knows that she has had enough
Of his dishonesty and lies
He doesn't realize she's aware
Of his forbidden love affair
Her confrontation's a surprise
He stumbles for the words to say
Like searching for another way
As disappointment fills her eyes
He's walking now on broken glass
She's crying as she runs on past
Right out the door to say "goodbye"
(Why'd you do this?
Why'd you do this?)
Why'd you mess this up
Just to mess around?
Why'd you give this up
Just to let me down?
Why'd I even bother
To give you all I had
If all you're gonna do is
Mess around behind my back?
The things I did can't be undone
My heart is racing, mind goes numb
I can't escape this guilty fear
I'm sorry for the things I've done
But now I cannot turn and run
From all the pain I've caused here
I never meant to break us down
I never thought I'd mess around
Yet, I'm the only one to blame
It's over now, I can't go back
The bridge is burned, foundation's cracked
And things will never be the same
(Why'd you do this?
Why'd you do this?)
