[Verse 1]
Miracle of miracles
Look what the night dragged in
It's a pocket full of misery
And trouble on the wind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You spoiled the best years of your life
You took them all in vain
Now you think that you're forgiven
But you can't be born again
[Chorus 1]
You say, why?
You say, why?
You say, why?
Don't ask me, why
[Post-Chorus]
I don't love you anymore
I don't think I ever did
And if you ever had
Any kind of love for me
You kept it all so well hid
[Verse 2]
Promises, sweet promises
You kept them from your mind
Like all the lost forgotten things
You never seemed to find
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like all the disappointments
You displayed upon your shelf
Now you've got no-one to turn to
You've got no-one but yourself
[Chorus 1]
And you say, why?
You say, why?
You say, why?
Don't ask me, why
[Post-Chorus]
I don't love you anymore
I don't think I ever did
And if you ever had
Any kind of love for me
You kept it all so well hid
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You spoiled the best years of your life
You took them all in vain
Now you think that you're forgiven
But you can't be born again
[Chorus 2]
And you say, why?
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
And you say, why?
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
[Bridge]
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
[Outro]
And you say, why?
I don't love you anymore
You say, why?
I don't love you anymore
You say, why?
I don't love you anymore
Don't ask me, why
I don't love you anymore
You say, why?
I don't love you anymore
You say, why?
I don't love you anymore
You say, why?
I don't love you anymore
Don't ask me, why
I don't love you anymore
Miracle of miracles

Why, why, why, why
[Bridge]
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
