Yet ask the reason for my crying.
All's I wanted was you to hold,
But you turned away, cold.
I only ever wished the best,
But you assumed the rest.
I only wanted to love.
You see me dying,
Yet ask the reason for my crying.
I only wanted to hold your hand,
But you left me there to stand.
I only wanted to dream,
But you left me to the stream.
You see me dying,
Yet ask the reason for my crying.
So instead, I'll indulge my sorrow.
Allow myself to wallow,
Till my eyes are sallow,
Skin like tallow.
You see me dying,
Yet ask the reason for my crying.
I gave you my heart,
But you wouldn't let it start.
I shared with you my life,
But you wouldn't stay to be my wife.
I gave you everything,
But you just kept turning,
Like I was nothing.
You see me dying,
Yet ask the reason for my dying.
