Oh Why?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As the nights go by
I sit alone and wonder why
My arms won't free you
My heart won't try
And I ask myself "why?"
You are gone, but where
I call your name
In every prayer
I walk alone
Where we walked together
And I ask myself "why?"
Just "why?"
I will try again
And your lips could lie again
Stars will never shine
Until the day you're mine
It would be divine
To find your lips
So close to mine
I loved you only
But I'm so lonely
And I ask myself "why?"
Just "why?"
