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, thinking your love was true

Selfishly, you broke my heart (My heart)
You were only fooling from the start
Still I have but one regret
Although you're gone and I can't forget

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

Your love was sweet when it started
Darling, why'd you leave me broken hearted?
Why'd you swear to always care
Then you walk away and leave me in despair?

Heartlessly, you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye
Still I have but one regret
Although love is gone, I can't forget

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

Selflessly, you told me lies
Planning all the time to say goodbye
Still I have but one regret
Although love is gone, I can't forget

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
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

Oh why, why, oh why, tell me why
Oh why, why, oh why, tell me why
Why when the love is gone?...
