Why Baby Why
Mickey Guyton Lyrics

Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
All of your belongings have disappeared, and you have left.

Our old picture frames are empty
The photos that were once in our frames are now blank.

I burned all your letters, I took off your ring
I destroyed anything that reminded me of you.

But what can I do with these memories
Despite trying to forget, memories of you remain.

Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back
Unable to sleep, I can't let go as if you'll return.

But you ain't coming back
It's pointless to expect you to return.

So tell me why, baby, why, baby why
Why did you leave me, and why can't I move on?

Baby why won't you let me let go?
Why can't I stop feeling this way about you?

Oh, I try baby, try, baby, try
I'm doing everything I can to forget you.

But your love just won't leave me alone
Your memory still haunts me and won't let me go.

I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
No matter what I do, the pain remains unrelenting.

Cool the burn, kill the ache
I can't lessen or make the pain disappear entirely.

No matter how hard that I
Despite my best efforts,

Cry, baby, cry
I can't help but cry.

Why, baby, why?
I still don't understand why you left and why I can't move on.

I close my eyes when I kiss his lips
To forget you, I pretend he is you when we kiss.

Praying this time I will see you
I'm hoping by some miracle that you'll be there when I open my eyes.

I'm real good at lying to everyone else
I can convincingly hide my feelings from others.

But I just can't lie to myself
I can't even deceive myself about how I feel.

When the truth is a shadow that follows me
The reality of our breakup looms over me constantly.

Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost
If you're only a memory, you still haunt me incessantly.

I saw your taillights fade into the dark
I watched you drive away as you left me behind.

And my head knows but there's no convincing my heart
I know in my mind that it's over, but my heart won't accept it.
