Russ - Why (Official Video)

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?

[Verse 1]
I can't believe all the times I believed in someone
Where's the love, first it's fast, then it breaks down
Hole in my heart, need to breathe, need a break now
That was a waste now, oh
I should've known from the jump
You've been cold, you've been hot
Did you plot on my gold, lost my faith now
Thought I could trust should've guessed you would change now
Fuck what you sayin now, oh

[Chorus]
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?

[Bridge]
You played your part, as well as I did, baby
We played them better than most, most
You gave your heart, as well as I did, baby
We gave them better than most, most

[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How you feelin'? I'm exhausted
Flakin' on your love, your heart is frosted
Let's talk this out, let's just go there
But every time I try, you get defensive, Rudy Gobert
And log onto your Instagram and post a Rumi quote there
Gratitude is wine for the soul, go get drunk
Oh, that's cute, you in your zone there
We drive each other crazy, but somehow we gettin' nowhere
Always startin' over like "Hello there"
Hello there, hello there

[Chorus]
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?
Why'd you leave me when you told me that you would stay?
Why, why?
Why'd you leave me if you told me that you would stay? (Ooh)
Could you tell me why?

[Verse]
I can't belive all the times I believed in someone
Where's the love, first it's fast, then it breaks down
Hole in my heart, need to breathe, need a break now
That was a waste now, oh
I should've known from the jump
You've been cold, you've been hot
Did you plot on my gold, lost my faith now
Thought I could trust should've guessed you would change now
Fuck what you sayin now, oh

If you made it this far can you please check out my music and tell me what you think of it? I just got started & any type of feedback would be very helpful for me in order to improve my work. Thank you for your time!

[IasonXexakis]

Im so happy he is putting out this good music . If you are reading this, you are destined for greatness.

[fatimaoubie]

Russ isn't a real person, he's a legend.

[khairulazman]

Listening to this song when you’re on a breakup and driving through the midnight hits differently

[demetriuspaschalides]

There are levels to everything. He can drop a soul love ballad, and next week drop bars like he is about to kill somebody.
He is in a league on his own . Not competing with anyone BUT yourself. In his words: GET OUTTA YOUR WAY

[alexisrosa]

His voice when he sings “You played your part, as well as I did baby, we played them better than most - You gave your heart, as well as I did baby, we gave them better than most” goes right through my soul, you feel the emotion.
