All I can do is sit alone in my room baby Thinking about ya How could this be that you are not here with me When I gave you the best of me I feast each day (each day) Without a smile And life seems so unfair I feel like I wanna (like I wanna) die You didn't even give me a last You didn't give me a last goodbye baby [Chorus] I've waited weeks for your call I've waited here by the phone Broken the silence too long (it broke to long) I knew that something was wrong (oh) Right then I knew it babe How could you do it babe (how could you do it) How could you tear my poor heat in two (why did you have to do it oh) How could you do it babe How could you do (how could you do) it to me (to me) Do it do it how could you do it baby And tear my poor heart in two Ain't no more blue up in my sky Only cloudy moments ha And this is like rain you left behind All of those memories in the corner of my mind I started looking at a picture in a frame As I start to cry 'cause I can't picture us apart Oh my God can you help me Can you help me with this pain With this pain I've buried deep down inside. [Chorus] How could you tear my poor heart in two (How could you do it how could you do it to me baby) Girl tell me it's not true (all my life) Do I have to spend the rest of my life without you baby How can I get through How can I get through this pain this pain no deal baby [Chorus] How could you do it babe (why you do this why you went away) How could you tear my poor heart in two (yeah yeah) Yeah baby oh I've waited weeks for your call I've waited here by the phone Break it down, break it down (broken the silence too long) Break it down, break it down (I knew that something was wrong) Break it down
