Why? Why'd you leave me here,
Leave me here to die?
Why'd you steal my heart,
and leave me here denied?

Why did you tear up my dreams
and take away the sky,
blacken all the stars,
and open up my eyes?

You could have left behind
some smiles to remember you by,
But all that remains is an empty space
in my heart where you used to hide,

Why'd you leave me here,
Leave me here to die?
Why'd you steal my heart,
and leave me paralyzed?

Why did you tear up my dreams
and take away the sky,
blacken all the stars,
and open up my eyes?

Some things are meant to die,
I've never questioned why,
The second time I thrived,
Somehow my fears survived,

Why'd you leave me here,
Leave me here to die?
Why'd you steal my heart,
and leave me here denied?

Why did you tear up my dreams
and take away the sky,
blacken all the stars,
and open up my eyes?

When your dreams have ceased to be..
When your own voice is a memory...
When love has ceased to breathe...
Then maybe you'll know how I feel...

Did she make you want to cry?
Did she make you want to die?
I know you're questioning why,
Through windows in your mind

Who deserves these cries?
Who could cause these scars?
I know you're questioning why
you've come to watch me cry,

Why'd you leave me here,
Leave me here to die?
Why'd you steal my heart,
and leave me here denied?

Why did you tear up my dreams
and take away the sky,
blacken all the stars,
and open up my eyes?

When your dreams have ceased to be..
When your own voice is a memory...
When love has ceased to breathe...
Then maybe you'll know how I feel...
