I can still hear your footsteps in the hallway
I still hear your voice behind the door
Hear the crying of my heart as it beats at a time
As it waits for the one it will never see no more

Why why why did you leave me
I can't keep the tears out of my eyes
Why why did you deceive me in love
With your silver tongue and gold plated lies

I remember the first time I saw you
Your clothes were black as mine
When you talked me your talk, you made me wish you could be mine
But somehow I knew something was not right

Why why why did you leave me
I can't keep the tears out of my eyes
Why why did you deceive me in love
With your silver tongue and gold plated lies

You know my friends, when they see me they all wonder
And I don't know to tell them when they ask
There ain't nothing to explain, you just found another flame
Our love is just a thing of the past

Why why why did you leave me
I can't keep the tears out of my eyes
Why why did you deceive me in love
With your silver tongue and gold plated lies

You had a silver tongue you had a gold plated lie
You had a silver tongue you had a gold plated lie
You had a silver tongue gold and plated lies
Silver tongue, gold plated lies
