Why?



Why did you go did you not love me enough to stay
Why did you leave I'm sorry I let you down today
Why couldn't you stay did heaven call your name
I called louder though and you still left anyway
Why did you leave did you not hear my cries
How I shout for you at night and scream your name at the skies
Why did you leave we were all here for you
I hope the angles love you as much as all of us do

I cry myself to sleep at night hide behind my smile I ask them why you left so soon and they are just as confused
Please tell the reason you left maybe even a sign on why you decided your life met its deadline
Grant me with the wisdom and knowledge from above why did  you chose the angels over everyone of us
Why did you chose to leave me and just not to stay I mean I left it long ago now but I can't help but ask anyway
It still hurts all the time even when I smile
I still cry even if it's just for a while

And I wanna be strong I need to be but all I feel is pressure everytime I feel like I'm moving on it just feels so wrong
I don't want to forget you and don't wanna lose your ways but how can I still chose you when you didn't chose to stay

But I think it's ok the angles have you now they better hold you tight if they wanna stick around
But I'm just talking nonsense because obviously you'll stay you one of the angles now atleast I hope anyway
