Tell me why
You had to walk away
You never stopped to say goodbye
Tell me why
Time changes everything
And then we are left to sing
Alone
I don't know what to do
I just wish I could see your face
And they say that time heals all
I don't believe them, I don’t believe them
I don’t believe them
Tell me why
Your footsteps made that sound
As they hit the hollow ground
You walked away
Tell me why
My eyes must cry the tears
They'll never wash away the fear
Goodbye
Tell me why
We’ll never laugh again
There's so much time to spend
Without you
Tell me why
I'll never hold your hand
We’ll never take a stand
Again
I don't know what to do
I just wish I could see your face
And they say that time heals all
I don't believe them, I don’t believe them
I don’t believe them
Tell me why
You had to walk away
You never stopped to say goodbye
