Lover Why

Lyrics

A sign of time
I lost my life, forgot to die
Like any man, a frightened guy
I’m keeping memories inside
Of wounded love

But I know
I’m more than sad and more today
I’m eating words too hard to say
A single tear and I’m away
Away and gone

I need you
So far from hell, so far from you
‘Cause heaven’s hard and black and gray
You’re just a someone gone away
You never said goodbye

Why, lover why?
Why do flowers die?
Why, lover why? …
