Why'D You Have To Go?

Why’d you have to go? This is home, This is were the heart is, Where your start is. And this is where you sat Everyday And every night I look But I can’t stay, Have to look away, It’s your memory that haunts me, You memory that taunts me, And I have to run away. I know if I stay That I’ll just waste away. I know that I have to go, I put on a good show But the fights over, I can go. But your memory it haunts me, Still always taunts me. And I’m afraid I’ll go down, And get stuck in that hole in the ground That leads to hell. Hope you’re well, Because rotting in this I won’t be. In my own house, Your house, Hell looks a lot like home. Why’d you have to go?
