[Verse 1]
Dm C Am G
You say you want me, you say you love me too
Dm C Am G
but it seems like, I'm the last one you want to talk too
F Am F G
I'm fighting for your attention, I fight to have you near
F Am F G
I'm fighting for your affection, I end up fighting off my tears
[Chorus]
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Hold me once again
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Love me like you did then
Am C F G
Trying to figure you out, so many questions in my mind
Am C F G
Do I hold on with hope, or is my love making me blind
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Hold me once again
C Em F G C Em F G
Why Can't You, Love me like you did back when
[Verse 2]
Dm C Am G
And if you lose me, will you feel loss will you feel pain
Dm C Am G
or is every day with me a burden and a drain
F Am F G
I'm feeling your rejection, I feel you pulling away
F Am F G
I'm feeling your your introspection, I feel it more and more each day
[Chorus]
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Hold me once again
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Love me like you did then
Am C F G
oh I really tried, I gave you all my best
Am C F G
I'm sad and angry inside, cause for so long we were so blessed...
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Hold me once again
C Em F G C Em F G
Why Can't You, Love me like you did back when
[Bridge]
Am C F G
but I know in my heart, you're already gone
Am C F G
you're breaking my heart, I wish I were wrong
Am C F G
and I'll love you forever, baby I'll be strong
Am C F G C Em F G
cause I know more then ever, that I just don't belong with you
[Chorus]
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Hold me once again
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Love me like you did then
C Em F G
Why Can't You, Why Can’t You, Why Can’t You
C Em F G C Em F G
Why Can't You, what am I gonna do without you by my side...
