But why

© Svante Isaksson

I´ve cried buckets of sorrow

I´ve cried an ocean of pain

I could have made a desert green

Remembering what has been

You stole my heart and money

You stole my faith and hope

You stole my thrust and trust

You put me to grain and dust

Why, but why did you go

Why, but why did you say no

I know it´s a sad rhyme, but I just don´t love you anymore

I said mercy but you didn´t you see

I´m down on my knees

I feel like a heap of debris

Is that what you want me to be 

You said without compassion

You´re dead I feel no passion

You´re old and out of fashion

You are like yesterdays ration

Why, but why did you go

Why, but why did you say no

I know it´s a sad rhyme, but I just don´t love you anymore
