Looking back you didn’t promise anything

I could never really say that you were mine

All the times we had inside the Trafford Boulevard

I just couldn’t keep you hanging on

 

Looking back I simply don’t know why I kept the faith

I was clinging on to hopes you wouldn’t leave

I didn’t even hear you turn the backdoor key

I wanna know, I wanna know

 

Why d’ya have to leave so soon

You were all I really wanted, all I really needed

Why d’ya have to leave so soon

This time, this time

 

Looking back on frost forming on the window pane

You're the bitter cold that’s come and gone

Once again you’ve proven to be fickle as the wind

I’m better off alone

 

Looking back at winter when you took me by the hand

You were only putting on a show

All it ever was between us was a masquerade

I gotta know, I gotta know

 

Why d’ya have to leave so soon

You were all I really wanted, all I really needed

Why d’ya have to leave so soon

You were all I really wanted, all I really needed

Why d’ya have to leave so soon

You were all I really wanted, all I really needed

Why d’ya have to leave so soon, this time
