Why Did You Have to Go Away?  ©4/2020 Kenny Selcer

I’m sitting here by myself, alone in an empty room
Can’t wait ‘till this night is done, won’t be over none to soon.
    Time is movin’ slow for me, Why did you have to go away?

You know it feels so strange, it was an instant change
One moment you were talking to me, & you were there for me to see.
    Now I’m starin’ at these 4 walls, why did you have to go away?

I’m waiting for your call, I know won’t ever come
I’m feelng numb inside, I’m feeling overcome
I don’t who I am, without you by my side
    Doesn’t feel like there’s any tomorrow.
 
Now there’s no one home, I know you had to roam
There’s no more you and me, no more you for me to see
    Time is movin’ way too slow, why did you have to go away?

I know it’s very real, feels like I’ll never heal
I’ll miss the times we had, it makes me mad and sad.
    That I’ll never have you near, why did you have to go away?

Your picture’s by my bed, it’s playing with my head
I dream about you at night, and nothing seems alright
I look for your embrace, I look to touch your face
    What I find is nothing but sorrow

I’m sitting here by myself, alone in an empty room
Can’t wait ‘till this night is done, won’t be over none too soon.
    Time is movin’ slow for me, Why did you have to go away?
