[Verse 1]
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 love was true
Selfishly, you broke my heart (My heart)
You were only fooling from the start (You were only fooling)
Still I have just one regret (Regret)
Although you're gone, I can't forget

[Chorus]
Why, when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Oh why, when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

[Verse 2]
Your love was sweet when it started
But now I find it leaves me brokenhearted
Why do you swear to always care
Then you walk away and leave me in despair
Heartlessly, you told me lies (Me lies)
Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)
Still I have just one regret (Regret)
Although love is gone, I can't forget
[Chorus]
Why, when the love is gone
Why does my heart keep holding on?
Oh why, when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?

[Bridge]
Oooh ooh
Selfishly, you told me lies (Me lies)
Planning all the time to say goodbye (Planning all the time)
Still I have the one regret (Regret)
Although love is gone, I can't forget

[Chorus]
Why, when the love is gone
Tell me, why does my heart keep holding on?
Ooh why, when the love is gone
Ooh, why does my heart keep holding on?

[Outro]
Oh why, oooh why, oh why, oooh why
Tell me why, oooh why, oh why, oooh why
Tell me why
