Why When Love is Gone

[Verse 1]
Your love made a slave of me
But the love you gave you took away from me
Foolishly, I believed in you
What a fool I was to think your love was true
Selfishly broke my heart
You only fooled me from the start

[Bridge]
Still I have but one regret
Although love is gone, I just can't forget

[Chorus]
Why when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

[Verse 2]
Your love was sweet when we started
Why'd you go and leave me brokenhearted?
Why swear to always care
Then walk away and leave me in despair?
Heartlessly, you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye

[Bridge]
Still I have but one regret
Although love is gone I just can't forget

[Chorus]
Why when the love is gone
Oh, why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

[Verse 2]
Heartlessly, you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye

[Bridge]
Still I have but one regret
Although love is gone I just can't forget

[Chorus]
Why when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone?
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Why when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?
Why? Why? Lord, why? Tell me why
Why, why, oh why, tell me why
(Why when the love is gone)
