Why'd You Go
Words & music by Darla Zuhdi

I’d steal songs from a songbird
if the music made you sad.
Color dunes in the desert
to give you all that I had.

I’d chase a rainbow from view
if I could feel your sweet kiss,
capture a fallen raindrop
to share a moment of bliss.

(chorus)
But you left and I cried,
my heart’s torn inside.
I gotta know
why’d you go
why’d you tell me those lies?
Can’t you see?
You need me
and the love (world) that we shared
I gotta know
why’d you go
why’d you tell me you cared.

(verse)
I’d catch the minutes of time
to freeze that look in your eyes
smear the clouds ‘cross Heaven
just to capture your sighs.

I’d strip the oceans of waves
to spend my lifetime with you
take the stars from the skies
to make your wishes come true.

I Gotta know
Why’d you go?
Why’d you tell me goodbye?
