I sat alone for hours just wondering what I had done, wondering why.
When you were taken from me, I thought I was to blame,
I thought of all of the wrong things I had said, and hung my head in shame.
"If only..." I thought to myself, but I found out on my own,
My heart was broken into a thousand pieces and it couldn't have been changed by any
amount of love shown.
This was the first time you left without saying goodbye to me, maybe that's what took my
heart,
The thought never entered my mind, that we would have to part.
Our love was the best kind, we had known it all along,
You had always taught me not to let weakness get the best of me... always to be strong.
Tell me why I have given into this sorrow now, tell me why you're gone, tell me why I'm
without your love,
Tell me why everyone always says "She's watching you from above."
Maybe it hasn't crossed their minds yet, but I don't want you above me, I want you here,
I want to see your face, hear your voice, I want you to be near.
Life isn't the same without you, and I don't think it will ever be,
You took everything with you when you went away.... You took a piece of me."
