Why Did You Leave Me
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
YOU LEFT ME ALL ALONE,
DID YOU THINK I’D FEEL SET FREE?
LIKE A SUDDEN DISAPPEARING STAR,
YOU JUST LEFT EARTH,
EVER SINCE YOU LEFT ME OUT IN THE COLD,
LIFE SEEMS LIKE NOTHING,
MY SOUL HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD,
LOOKING AHEAD IS DEPRESSING,
IT ALL LEAVES ME SEVERELY STRESSING,
I NEED YOUR FIRM HUG,
YOUR GENTLE VOICE TO HELP ME MAKE A RIGHT CHOICE,
ALL THE LOVE YOU SENT TO ME FILLED THE EMPTY SPACE IN MY HEART,
I KNOW THE DEVIL IS MARKING THE DAY OF MY DEATH ON A CHART,
SOMEHOW I MUST BREAK FREE,
I’VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED,
HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SAD,
WHY’S EVERYONE SAYING "TOO BAD"?
"MOVE ON",
"GET OVER IT SHE’S GONE",
"FORGET HER",
"NO NEVER!!" I SAY.
WHY THEY TRY TO CAUSE SUCH A STIR?
HOW COME YOU DIDN’T TELL ME NOR WARN ME?
THAT YOU WERE GONNA BE SOON LEAVING ME,
YOU LEFT ME WITH NOTHING,
ALL MY BIG DREAMS WERE BROKEN,
MY LIFE TORN APART,
EVERYONE SAYS THIS IS WHERE TIME WILL TAKE PART,
THEY’RE ALL VERY, VERY WRONG,
I’M NOT LIKE THEM,
I’M NOT THAT STRONG,
I WANNA BE THERE WITH YOU!
HELP ME GET THERE,
AFTER ALL IT’S WHERE I BELONG,
CHANGE WILL NEVER HAPPEN,
NOT UNLESS THE CHANGE IS YOU RETURN,
I CAN GO BACK TO SEEING YOU ON WEEKENDS,
AND MOST OF THE SUMMER,
IF YOU HADN’T OF LEFT SO SOON AND SO SUDDENLY,
MAYBE MY LIFE WOULDN’T BE SUCH A BUMMER,
I HOPE GOD KNOWS THE PERMANENT DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE,
A SAD, SAD DECEMBER 6TH 1996,
MY LIFE IS A BUNCH OF LIES AND HEAD GAMES,
AND MY MIND ONLY PLAYS TRICKS ON ME,
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW,
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU SO,
MAYBE IF YOU HADN’T OF BEEN TAKEN AWAY…
MY LIFE WOULD BE OKAY,
IT MIGHT NOT HAVE GONE TO RUINS IN ONE DAY,
I’M TOLD I SHOULD BE MADE OF STEEL AND THAT I’LL LIVE LONGER,
THAT IS A WAY I’LL NEVER FEEL,
YOU WALKED IN AND OUT OF MY LIFE,
I KNOW IF YOU WERE HERE…
I’D BE ALL CHEERS,
YOUR MEMORY IS IN MY HEART,
THE MEMORY’S ARE FUSED THERE TOO,
I KNOW YOU’RE GONE IT’S TRUE,
IT MAKES ME OH SO BLUE,
EVERYONE’S OVER YOU BUT I,
EVERY WEEK I CRY AND CRY,
I SIT ALONE AND WONDER WHY,
I DID ALWAYS TRY,
I DON’T UNDERSTAND,
IN MY LIFE YOU WERE THE ONLY THING GRAND,
YOU WERE MY HEART, MY LIFE, AND SANITYS ONLY STRAND,
GOD KNOWS IT’S NOT FAIR,
I REALLY DO CARE,
YES IT’S ME AUNT DENISE…
YOUR HEARTBROKEN FAVORITE NIECE,
YOU LEFT ME WITH NO PEACE,
I’LL BE THERE ONE DAY,
AND AT YOUR SIDE I SHALL STAY,
YOU’LL SEE…ONEDAY…BUT STILL…
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?
