[intro] I keep reaching back there for something And coming up with handfuls of ash What am I looking for? What do I miss? [channel 1] Sometimes it takes my breath away When I think of all I’ve lost Comes over me in waves you see [chorus 1] Oh, oh Traditions with you weren’t easy, But Lord, I tried. Oh, oh You were worth it (for you, I would) Fight, all day and night. But I still don’t understand, Why you dropped, my hand. [verse 2] I don’t know that I’ve ever been mad at you Your breathlessness Your crimson cheeks You left me standing there, In the cold, dangerous, dark. Then lied to me How could you? How could I? I, stayed. [channel 2] Every damn sad song, Has something to do, With you. [chorus 1] Oh, oh Traditions with you weren’t easy, But Lord, I tried. Oh, oh You were worth it (for you, I would) Fight, all day and night. But I still don’t understand, Why you dropped, my hand. [bridge] Thoughts of our tender moments, Tender kisses in the dark. The scent of you lingers yet, Even though we’ve been apart. I didn’t think you’d fade away, Thought you’d hold on somehow. The decline was steep, But it makes sense. The moments, that lead up to now. The world has emptied out. Hope, has succumbed, to doubt [channel 3] How could you leave, Without saying, Goodbye (Oh why (Oh why (Oh why))) Oh why-ee-y-I-ee (why-ee-y-I-ee) I?! Who will I talk to? How could I not hold you? Time was not kind to us The sky came crashing down one day And we’ve been, recovering, Ever. Since. [channel 4] Traditions with you, Weren’t easy. But all I could ever do, Was try (I tried (we tried)-(I tried (I tried))) Oh, you know, We tried… [chorus 1] Oh, oh Traditions with you weren’t easy, But Lord, I tried. Oh, oh You were worth it (for you, I would) Fight, all day and night. But I still don’t understand, Why you dropped, my hand. [outro] Why you dropped my hand (why’d you drop my hand) Why, you, Dropped my hand (why’d you drop my hand) (Why you dropped my hand) Why’d you drop my hand Why, you, Dropped my hand (why’d you drop my hand) Why’d. You?
