Why Oh Why

Take me down easy, say Im nothing but a sleazy, 
that in my heart I've gone insane; 
It makes no sense to me, why you just had to be free, 
so put a bullet in my brain. 
For that day you broke my heart, my life you ripped apart, 
as slowly you walked out that door; 
In my mind I was mad, in my heart I was truly sad, 
what was you leaving me for? 

Was there another man? Please share so I can understand, 
why to me you are so very cold; 
Is it because of my past, that our love couldn't last, 
or am I just getting to old? 
Please open up your heart, share all not just a part, 
so I can understand why; 
You say you don't want to be married, our love to hard to carry, 
our relationship in your eyes has died. 

So for now as I close my eyes, I feel the sting of the tears I cry, 
as I lay alone in my bed; 
It hurts me deep inside, from my feelings I can not hide, 
alone, , , , , I would rather be dead.
