Why do you turn your back to me?

 

Oh baby, why

Why do you turn your back to me tonight?
Why do you hide
From the love we held so tight?

Turning away
In this bed where we both lie,
Under one sheet
Where our whispered promises died.

In this bed — tell me, where did we start?
Where is the stain of my blood on your heart?

I’ve just awakened from a dream so deep,
Where tangled souls refused to sleep.
Your gentle voice, your tender disguise,
Your honeyed truth wrapped inside lies.

Your lips once traced my every scar,
You tasted the truest parts we are —
So tell me why,
Oh tell me why.

Now that my eyes have opened wide,
All that remains is your distant side.
Your back so cold, your shoulders so far,
A silent wall where your feelings are.

Turn back to me, repeat those lines,
Say that your heart was always mine.
Say I was never a fool to believe
The fragile dreams you taught me to breathe.

Say love was real from the very start,
That every beat belonged to my heart.

But baby, I knew beneath it all —
The truth was waiting for us to fall.
I saw regret within your eyes,
A quiet apology you couldn’t disguise.

Was I blind, or did I choose
A softer truth I feared to lose?

Oh baby, why
Do you turn your back to me tonight?
Why do you leave
While we still share the same moonlight?

In this bed
Where one sheet covers what we were —
In this bed…
Why does your heart no longer stir?
