I Stand By

I Stand By
The Reason Why

It was not me that made you cry...

As you were the one with a hard head
You the one that always said
That you had made your own bed
And I can go sleep in the shed

So whats the point of my wondering why
If I could even have tried
To change my own pigsty
To one that included you and I

As I'd rather sleep in a shed
Than to share your smelly bed
And for me to wake up every morning
As a pig no longer mourning..

So I stand by
The Reason Why
That you will never make me cry
But what about the piggies that you wanted..
As who looks after the unwanted?
