All alone, I contemplate the fragments of my heart
Losing you, to someone else is tearing me apart
I gave you everything while you were busy
Wrapped in the arms of my friend

Out of all the ones you could choose
Why her, Why her?
And out of all the ones I could lose you to
Why her?
If you wanted someone to kiss goodnight
Why her, Why her?
And if you needed someone to hold you tight
Why her?

She complained I "compromised"
our friendship for your love
You thought she had interfered
and said you'd had enough
Fooled by your masquerade, you've both betrayed me
Leaving me broken inside

Out of all the ones you could choose
Why her, Why her?
And out of all the ones I could lose you to
Why her?
If you wanted someone to kiss goodnight
Why her, Why her?
And if you needed someone to hold you tight
Why her?

From oceans of tranquility
Now I'm drowning from tears I've cried
Emotion's washin' over me
Say goodbye
Not only have I lost the man I love
but also the friend I could trust

Out of all the ones you could choose
Why her, Why her?
And out of all the ones I could lose you to
Why her?
If you wanted someone to kiss goodnight
Why her, Why her?
And if you needed someone to hold you tight
Why her?
