Why Did You Go, Why Did You Leave Me? - Labi Siffre

I’m tired of waking in the morning on my own

It’s very hard for me just sleeping alone

Sometimes in the night I wake and reach for you

It’s not good to live as one in a place for two

Why did you go?

Why did you leave me?

How could I know, simple naive me

I know that you care, well I know what you told me

So why are you there making you lonely

Forget all the times we said we’d never part

Well, that kind of talk it’s always at the start

But you still greet me with the same old smile

And sometimes you’ll let me love you for a while

Why did you go?

Why did you leave me?

How could I know, simple naive me

I know that you care, well I know what you told me

So why are you there making you lonely

You tell me you need some time to work things out

Well I don’t want to rush you or mess you about

But given time you know I might change too

And I’d hate to see you suffer the way I do

Why did you go?

Why did you leave me?

How could I know, simple naive me

I know that you care, well I know what you told me

So why are you there making you lonely
