Love, why did you have to go away, leave us here all alone.
To survive these crazy, crazy days.
And love, see we've been really missing you.
Some new times have come round, it seems like we've forgot too.
But we wanted you to know, we never wanted you to go.
And we wanted you to know, we never wanted you to go.
Love, why did you leave us here alone, when we drop bombs upon each other.
Picked up guns and we shot our brothers, when dad got drunk and yelled at mother.
Where were you, I said where were you.
But we wanted you to know, we never wanted you to go.
And we wanted you to know, that we never wanted you to go.
And love, where were you when we were scared.
When know one shared and know one cared.
When we chopped down the final tree, broke apart the human family.
So now I'm begging you today, I knew it was us who went away.
But we wanted you to know, we never wanted you to go.
And we wanted you to know, that we never wanted you to go
