Me Diz o Porquê

Duarte Duarte

Tell Me Why

(Tell me why I'm waiting)
(For someone)
(That couldn't give a fuck about me)
(No, no you wouldn't)

(Tell me why I'm waiting)
(For someone)
(That couldn't give a fuck about me)
(No, no you wouldn't)

I found you at the best time
I needed you
You held my hand, promised not to let go
I felt you did it by mistake

Why aren't you here anymore?
I know you won't come back
I lost you at the worst time

There was no goodbye
No hug
But I thank you
For always lifting me up and inspiring me to continue in this life
(Thank you!)
But it doesn't make sense
Why aren't you here anymore?
To this day I wonder: Why did you have to leave?

The longing is the fault of the memories
I swear I try to forget
But every second trying is another second wanting you
We boarded the same train
I felt it was going to be true
But you, who didn't even want to listen to me
Decided to get off first

(Enough! There's no point in sending me messages here now)
(I used to be with you)
(Now we're not together anymore, so it's not strange)
(I just don't want it anymore, don't want it anymore, don't want it)

Tell me why
All I want is to know why
All this time, all the moments together
Do you really want to forget?
Tell me why
I know there's an answer
But the pieces aren't fitting together
I wanted to know why
Without a goodbye, why are you leaving me?

So many questions were asked of me
Few answers were given by you
It's hard for the pen to write
The ink smudges when the paper is wet
You don't want to listen to me
I can't have you anymore
But I hope that someday, somewhere
This letter reaches you

Each on our own side, connected by red lines
No matter the distance, it will never break
I couldn't say it looking at you because I didn't want to see myself
If you happen to hear this last verse
Know that I still love you
