Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Sung]
You left your perfume on that old pillow,
And a tear on the edge of the bed.
Coffee's still warm in your favorite cup,
But not a word was said.

[Spoken - Softly, like a memory]
You didn't slam the door...
You didn't even say goodbye.
You just... disappeared.
And I'm still standin' here... askin' myself...

[Chorus - Sung]
Why'd you go and leave without a reason?
Why'd you take the sunshine outta my season?
If love was real, then where did it die?
I ain't lookin' for a fight, darlin'...
I'm just lookin' for a why.

[Verse 2 - Sung]
I replay every word we ever whispered,
Every laugh and every late-night drive.
Was I too blind to see the distance growin'?
Was our love barely alive?

[Spoken - Quiet and aching]
I held you like forever...
Guess forever don't last too long.
But if I was wrong...
All you had to do... was tell me.

[Chorus - Sung]
Why'd you go and leave without a reason?
Why'd you take the sunshine outta my season?
If love was real, then where did it die?
I ain't lookin' for a fight, darlin'...
I'm just lookin' for a why.

[Bridge - Sung]
I'd take the blame, if that would bring you home...
I'd change the man I am, if I could've known...

[Spoken - With emotion]
But silence...
Silence is a heavy answer...
And that's all you left me with.

[Final Chorus - Sung]
Why'd you go and leave without a reason?
Why'd you take the best part of my believin'?
If love was real, then where did it die?
I don't need you to come back...
I just need to know... why.
