Why?


Tell me why did you leave?

Tell me why did you go?

Was it something I said?

I just got to know

 

Tell me why did you leave

Me out in the cold?

Just tell me why did you go?

Wasn’t I good enough?

Didn’t you care?

 

You said that you would always be there

So tell me why are you up there?

And I’m still here?
