I Still Wonder Why
The sounds of silence is what I now hear
As I look back over what happened last year
Many months has gone and passed me bye
But the same old question I can't answer is why
I try to remember the days before your last
It all seems a blur everything happened so fast
The initial shock and the numbness I felt
Was the worse hand in life I could ever been dealt
I'm not a gambler nor do I temp fate
All I know is that I found you too late
What could I have done to change your mind
No note nothing did you leave me to find
Almost 2 years has passed and I haven't a clue
I have never found out what happened to you
Days still go bye and I wonder why
Why I am still alive and you chose to die
I would have gladly taken your place
Now I feel empty and full of disgrace
If only I had known what you were about to do
I would have given my life just to save you
Now I look back at the days now gone by
Still no answer to my big question why.
