Note for LP: My first popular song, Why did you go?, I thought was terrible. It took me months of thinking to figure out to make it goth metal, and make it good! I changed the name to differentiate. [Verse] I wake to shadows Cold and thin Your ghost still lingers by my side The bed’s too wide The room’s too still And time won’t bend It never will [Prechorus] I scream your name into the air But silence answers You're not there [Chorus] Why did you go Why did you leave You took the air I cannot breathe Your scent still haunts the place we lay My beloved Why'd you slip away [Verse 2] The mirror holds a cracked disguise It hides the ache behind my eyes The clock hands spin but wounds don’t heal This empty weight It’s all I feel [Prechorus] I scream your name into the air But silence answers You're not there [Chorus] Why did you go Why did you leave You took the air I cannot breathe Your scent still haunts the place we lay My beloved Why'd you slip away [bagpipes solo] [Bridge] I’ll carry you until I fall A shadow etched upon my wall The world keeps turning I stay still My love I think I always will [Chorus] Why did you go Why did you leave You took the air I cannot breathe Your scent still haunts the place we lay My beloved Why'd you slip away [outro: Guitar Solo]
