Why

I don't know what to say to you anymore
You broke my heart as you've done many times before
And here you are back in my life again
But I say it just has to end

Why did you come back
When I thought you had gone to stay
My love, you threw it all away
Now you say that you've changed your mind
But I know that it's only a line

I won't believe in your lies anymore
After all the pain you put me through.
I know that I am still in love with you

I've tried so hard to erase the memory
Of how much your love meant to me
Why can't you set me free?
