Why did you have to leave me?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you just give up on life?
I really want to know.
Why couldn�t you have told someone?
Why did you have to go?
Why couldn�t you have asked for help?
I really need to know.
I know there�s no point asking
Because I�ll never know
But it would really help me.
Why did you have to go?
I hope you knew I loved you
I didn�t show it enough
It hurts � the pain you went through
When your life was very tough.
I miss you all the time
And wish that you were still here
You don�t know how difficult it is
To lose someone whom you held so dear.
I really hope you�re happy now
And free from all your pain
I can�t wait until the time comes
When we can meet again.
Why did you have to leave me?
That I�ll never know
Along with all the other questions
You left when you chose to go.
Memories
You well and truly hurt me
The day you went away
I couldn�t accept what had happened
And didn�t want to fight another day.
My world just seemed to fall apart
My memories were gone
The day you gave up on life and me
And I realised what you had done.
I couldn�t cope with talking about you
I erased you from my mind
I couldn�t understand why you did this to me
You didn�t seem the kind.
But now I want to remember
The way it used to be
The happy times we shared together
Just you, my Dad and me.
I�m so angry I can�t remember
I cry myself to sleep
I know I can�t have you back
But I need those memories to keep.
I need to put some perspective
On the way I think of you
And stop looking at the negative
And give some credit where it�s due.
Dad it sounds so strange
To say how much I miss you
When really I can�t remember
But I hope one day I do.
