He can offer you more than I ever could
So when you asked if you should, I said that I would
But how can I live with you gone?
Ultimate sacrifice pounded on my door
The trail that it made left my heart on the floor
But what else could I have done?
CHORUS:
You had to go
You wanted to show
That you could do without me
You had to be free
I guess this had to be
I boxed up your pictures, I locked them up tight
I just couldn't look, I couldn't stand the sight
But it didn't get you out of my head
I can't go to sleep, for at night you come
I reach for you, like a beggar for a crumb
While the scent of you fills my head
chorus
How could you go? How could you leave me,
Drowning in my own grief?
You left so quickly that you didn't stop to see
That the pool I was in was so deep
I was drowning...
drowning...
drowning in my own grief
I was drowning...
drowning...
drowning in my own grief
You had to go
I guess you showed
That you could do without me
But while you were free
That freedom killed me
Did this really have to be?
Now I'm drowning...
drowning...
drowning in my own grief
