How can you not be there when I need you?
How can you be gone after all those years?
Now who can I turn to to get me through?
Where do I go to wipe away my tears?
Why couldn’t you fight a little longer?
Why was giving up so easy for you?
Couldn’t you have been a little stronger?
But instead you pulled away and withdrew.
I forget you’re gone and reach for the phone,
Hoping upon hope I can hear your voice.
Realizing you’re gone and feeling alone,
Always wondering why you made that choice.
Wishing you didn’t have to go away,
Wondering why you didn’t want to stay.
