[Verse 1] The room went still When you went pale My hands went cold I knew I failed Your coffee sat By the sink edge Half full, untouched Like the words we left [Pre-Chorus] And I keep reaching For one more sign A pulse, a blink Something to find [Chorus] Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you Tears on my face No place to hide The light fades out As I break inside Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you I call your name But you don't return I'm holding on To what still burns [Verse 2] The clock still ticks Down the hall Your jacket's hung On the same old wall I trace your shape In the doorway frame Then I hear the rain Say your name [Pre-Chorus] And I keep reaching For one more sign A breath, a hand One more night [Chorus] Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you Tears on my face No place to hide The light fades out As I break inside Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you I call your name But you don't return I'm holding on To what still burns [Bridge] If I could trade My breath for yours I would lay my whole world On that floor If I could stop That final fall I'd give you mine I'd give you all [Final Chorus] Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you Tears on my face No place to hide The light fades out As I break inside Why did it have to be you Why did it have to be you I call your name Till the room goes dark You're still here Inside my heart
