Tell Me Why You Had to Go lyrics

Empty days, times erased
Mother’s heartache never abates
You memories are sweeping me away
I can’t keep living on yesterday
I’m kneeling, I’ll wait
I’m praying for escape
My hearts screaming
My minds dreaming

Cause, I need to know
Oh, tell me why you had to go
I need a reason…
Something I can believe in
(why you had to go, why you had to go…)

Every day, every hour is a crime
I need to hear your voice one more time
Our home has lost its heartbeat
It’s just a house on an empty street
My minds reeling
I’ve stopped feeling
I’m still waiting
With every breath I’m taking

Cause, I need to know
Oh, tell me why you had to go
I need a reason…
Something I can believe in
(why you had to go, why you had to go…)

Your voice whispers, each word weighed
Your memories linger, god, don’t let them fade
Oh, I need to remember how you look
Each heartbeat that you took
How tall you stood
When you were bad or good
Each smile you gave
Oh, you can’t find those in a grave

Cause, I need to know
Oh, tell me why you had to go
I need a reason…
Something I can believe in
(why you had to go, why you had to go…)
