Another blank page
Another weary day
Another day without you
Anyway
And now it really hits
As the train whistle calls
I hear your name
As the thunder roars
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
I heard you moved
Into somewhere new
Threw our life away
Hooked up with someone who
Shook up your sense of self
Got you off that dusty shelf
Lives a life that’s really flash
But that’s not where your soul is at
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
And I love you anyway
Even though you went away
You left me for a better chance
Cut me off with just one dance
I fell down, I admit I cried
Just a foolish man
Who cheated and lived a lie
Just an ordinary man
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl come on home to me
Give another chance to we
Cuz you and I make something else
Together we are more than just ourselves
With you I love
With you I thrive
You make me laugh
And without you I’m less than half
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
Girl, why did you go away
You said you’d always stay
