I Don't Know Why

I don't know why
why you had to leave me
and i don't know why
you said goodbye
only if i try
can i feel the earth beneath me
and as days go by
i come alive

the fall of your hair
the feel of your skin
and the smile on your face
as you took me in

now i lie
and stare at the sky
still i wonder why
i don't know why

you said that you'd release me
no matter how i try
i still feel you

i watched a falling leaf
drifting down towards me
carried by the wind
it disappeared

i sat in disbelief
at what had become of me
and as the day grew dark
i rose to go

and as i walked along
i thought i heard you call me
alas i was alone
so i went home

the fall of your hair
the feel of your skin
and the smile on your face
as you took me in

now i lie
no longer cry
but still i wonder why
i don't know why
you were taken from me
i cannot forget
or say goodbye
