hold your head up high
don't you ever lie
promise me tonight
don't let your heart take flight

every night i cried
trying to find myself inside
lonely and rejected
you went by undetected

(chorus):
so tell me why
tell me why I'm not the girl
you see yourself with
the perfect one to hold that kiss
so tell me why
tell me why I'm not that girl
to lay with you at night
to tell you that its all alright
tell me why

why'd you have to let me think
it was all gunna work out fine
that you were the love of my life
and we would last forever

after all i did for you
none of it was true
everything we could of been
all changed at the drop of a pen

(chorus)

was i worth the tI'me you had
was it real or was it just sad
to you i was a game
til another one came

so tell me why
tell me why I'm not that girl
you see yourself with
the perfect one to hold that kiss

(chorus)

hold your head up high
don't you ever lie
promise me tonight
don't let your heart take flight
