"why do you have to go away?" lyrics

Hm, yeah

Play the strings, tune in my heart
Staring at the floor, I don't know what to say
But you look so good today
I've been crazy lately
Got me questioning sanity
I feel like I'm fading away, uh

Your words, they saw them
Like a sun that came down hard
Feels like the cherry on top
Say things are through with us
Can't see us, less than past the summertime
And it just ain't no sweet, sweet ride, uh

Why do you have to go away? (Away, away)
Why can't you just give in and stay? (And stay)
You're so sure this is good for us, and I agree
But I've been lying to me, I keep crying to me, oh
Why do you have to go away?

I hear the keys, a melody with my mind
As you're closing the door
There's no music no more
Blood and dread, that's how I'm feeling
I didn't say what I was meaning
You just went too quickly away, oh

And trust is hurt, it's first-class shit
I had high hopes for this
We were onto something so good, love
I think I gave up too soon on us
Saw us less than past the summertime
Why you went and break my sweet, sweet rhyme?

Why do you have to go away? (Away, away)
Why can't you just give in and stay? (And stay)
You're so sure this is good for us, and I agree
But I've been lying to me, I keep crying to me, oh
Why do you have to go away?

Not to hate on you
Practice what you preach, it's true
Like Frank said, we're kids no more
Now that we are through
Empty parts, so brand new
Baby, I'm so broken
But I'll fix up soon

Why do you have to go away?
Why can't you just give in and stay?
You're so sure this is good for us, and I agree
But I've been lying to me, I keep crying to me, oh
Why do you have to go away?
