Lyrics
Why Did You Go
Words and music by Lynda Dobbin-Turner
V1
Through a crystal angel a sun ray shines
I stare out the window to pass the time
I feel the tears start to burn my eyes, but I can't hold them back so I don't even try
I sit alone in your empty room
Close my eyes imagine you'll be back soon
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
'cause I don't know who I am without you
CHORUS
Why did you go, I need to know
And what am I supposed to do
In a world here without you
'cause I can't breathe
And I can't believe
I'm supposed to carry on
I just don't think my heart's that strong
And I can move on until somehow I know
Why did you go
V2
The days move by in a misty blur
My heart is so stuck back on the way things were
I try to take just one step ahead
But it seems I fall back two instead
CHORUS
Why did you go, I need to know
And what am I supposed to do
In a world here without you
'cause I can't breathe
And I can't believe
I'm supposed to carry on
I just don't think my heart's that strong
And I can move on until somehow I know
Why did you go
BRIDGE:.
I was not prepared for this
I'm standing on the edge of this dark abyss
Asking just one thing
Hanging by a string
And I want so badly just to let it go
But I can't until somehow I finally know
CHORUS
Why did you go, I need to know
And what am I supposed to do
In a world here without you
'cause I can't breathe
And I can't believe
I'm supposed to carry on
I just don't think my heart's that strong
And I can move on until somehow I know
Why did you go
