If I left you, would you cry a lot?
Would you have even wondered where I’d gone?
And if I stumbled before I got too far
Would you accuse my will of being flawed?
​
My walk has turned into a crawl
I don’t know why you care at all
​
And if I loved you, then I broke your heart
Would you still care to hold me in your arms?
And if above you there are only stars
Where will your dreams be broadcast when I’m gone?
​
My start has turned into a stall
I don’t know why you care at all
​
I tend you query your position on this situation
'Cause it makes no sense to me
You’re wasting time, you’re wasting effort, and you’re wasting patience
This is all that’s left of me
Why do you have to be
So Goddamn lovely?
​
My rise has turned into a fall
And my problems overwhelm us all
You didn’t worry, you didn’t care
You stood by me through the fall
I don’t know why you care at all
I dont know why, I dont know why...
