Goodbye But Why
I must bid you a sad goodbye
And with your deep eyes you say
“But why?”
Because my heart is dying
Again with your eyes crying
“But why?”
So I bend upon a weak knee
Breathing deeply to answer your plea
I love you, that is why
I love your eyes, your embrace, the curvature of your face
That is why
Still you do not understand
Once more with an open hand
“But why?”
Now with a tear in my eye
Because you do not love me
Do you not see
You shake your head
Not understanding a word I have said
One last time, one last moment
To explain what I have meant
On both knees this time to hear my please
Your heart is in her hands
In mine it falls like time’s sands
You run to her embrace
In mine there is no trace
Now do you comprehend
That is why I am no friend
