lyrics
Why’d you have to go
And kill yourself tonight?
Just as I’s about my love for you to confess
I came to ask you on a date
Now I’ve eternity to wait
And I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
I thought a new day would dawn
Instead it turned dusk
You blew apart the love I gave
Well, eat your heart out in your grave
But save me the husk
Why’d you have to go
And kill yourself tonight?
Fifteen minutes from you when you did,
Or maybe less
But when I reached your old front door
You didn’t live there anymore
And I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
I thought a new day would dawn
Instead it turned dusk
You blew apart the love I gave
Well, eat your heart out in your grave
But save me the husk
Why’d you have to go
And kill yourself tonight?
When my hope for love with you was no more
Than a guess
Well, I will take it in my stride
And consider you my bride
But I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
No, I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
No, I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
And kill yourself tonight?
Just as I’s about my love for you to confess
I came to ask you on a date
Now I’ve eternity to wait
And I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
I thought a new day would dawn
Instead it turned dusk
You blew apart the love I gave
Well, eat your heart out in your grave
But save me the husk
Why’d you have to go
And kill yourself tonight?
Fifteen minutes from you when you did,
Or maybe less
But when I reached your old front door
You didn’t live there anymore
And I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
I thought a new day would dawn
Instead it turned dusk
You blew apart the love I gave
Well, eat your heart out in your grave
But save me the husk
Why’d you have to go
And kill yourself tonight?
When my hope for love with you was no more
Than a guess
Well, I will take it in my stride
And consider you my bride
But I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
No, I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
No, I’ll never, never know if you’d ’a said yes
