Why have you gone
And left me alone
With only my memories of you?
Why did you leave me
Here crying alone
In the dark, lonely hours of night?
Why did you tell me
That you still loved me,
When you knew it just wasn’t true?
Why did you lie when
You told me you cared,
If you knew I’d only be hurt?
Where have you gone since
You walked out on me,
And left me alone with my tears?
Why should I care since
You’ve broken my heart,
And left me to cry by myself?
