lyrics

mama told me, "don't be hasty." daddy said to wait.
you've got your whole life ahead.
but in you'd walk and down I'd fall, forget about my ma and pa and I don't think that I'll get over it.

it takes a certain somebody to feed a hungry heart
then try to toss it to the wind.
i spread my wings to soar away. i flew just like a rock they say and I've been sinking deeper ever since.

why did you go? why did you go? why did you leave me all alone?
what am I supposed to do? why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? why did you go why do i still wait up for you?
why did you go why do i still wait up for you?

before i heard you say it i might even have agreed.
that ship was headed out to sea.
but goodbye made me change my mind. who wants to get left behind?
i'm pretty sure that you're the one for me.

why did you go? why did you go? why did you leave me all alone?
what am I supposed to do? why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? why did you go why do i still wait up for you?
why did you go why do i still wait up for you?

oh what a curse that you left me first, turned my indifferent heart into shakespeare with words. Who knew there'd be so many ways to say, "i miss you."
and when i think clearer i bet you I'll say, "i didn't really like you that much anyway 'til you left me."
still why'd you leave me?

ahhh

why did you go? why did you go? why did you leave me all alone?
what am I supposed to do? why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? why did you go why do i still wait up for you?
why did you go I don't think I'll wait up for you.
