Why?

You’re finally gone…
Gone for good.
I never had the chance to say I’m sorry;
Or the chance to hold on to you for long.

Why’d you have to go?
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why won’t you listen?
Why are you always doing this to me, though?

I just wish I had the chance to say
I miss you and that I love you again.
I’m sorry for all of the yelling
I just wish I had another day.

Why’d you have to go?
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why won’t you listen?
Why are you always doing this to me, though?

You say that you love me,
And that you won’t ever lie.
How could I have ever listened?
How could I have not seen?

Why’d you have to go?
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why won’t you listen?
Why are you always doing this to me, though?

Knowing you, you’re probably lying 
To some other poor girl right now.
Then you’ll leave her like you did me,
And leave her forever crying.

Why’d you have to go?
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why won’t you listen?
Why are you always doing this to me, though?

Even after all of this has happened,
How on earth can I still love you?
How can I care?
How can I still want you beside me?

Why’d you have to go?
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why won’t you listen?
Why are you always doing this to me, though?

But… We still had our precious moments,
So, how can I NOT love you?
How can I NOT care?
When you were always there, when I had you?
