Why Did I Have To Leave?
by: R. A. Cvetich

You asked why I had to leave
Why I walked away from you
Well baby I don't know
That's not what I wanted to do
I didn't want to let you go
Or ever say goodnight
I didn't want to walk away
Or ever leave your sight
Instead of lying there awake
Thinking, tossing and turning
I wanted to run away and find you
And hold you close till morning

CHORUS
But I just laid there in the dark
Wishing we were not apart
Hating being by myself
Wanting you like nothing else
Trying so hard not to cry
Feeling tears fill up my eyes
As the same question came to me:
Why did I have to leave?

As I walked away from you
I didn't know what lay ahead
I didn't know how much I'd miss you
Or how I'd lie awake in bed
But if I could go back to then
I'll tell you what I'd do
I would get out of that bed
And I'd find my way to you
To a place where no one else would be
That's where we would go
I'd pull you close and kiss your lips
Like there was no tomorrow

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
Darling I don't see
Just why I had to leave
I never wanted to let go
But at least now I know
That when it comes to times like then
I'll never leave your side again

Repeat CHORUS
