Won'T Stay Down

How could you leave me so empty and alone? When all I ever wanted, was a love to call my own How could you walk away from everything we had What did I do that was so very bad? I just don't understand the actions that you've made When upon your shoulders your burdens I have laid You may think that I'll stay down I won't stay down for long You chose to leave, I choose to stay I'll take my heart and carry on I may not know the reasons why you went away I'll just save my heartache for another day Why should I sit here, crying over you? When I could find much better things to do I never thought you'd walk away and leave me all alone But since you're gone, I'll just move on, and call my life my own So don't think that I'll stay down For I won't stay down for long You chose to leave, I choose to stay So I'll take my heart and carry on
