lyrics

I travelled so far, to see you.
Went out of my way to meet you.
Spent all of sweat for you too,
I have no regrets, except when you

Told me but didn't,
Why it couldn't be.
Your vagueness it boggles
The mind inside me.

You said,

Nothing made sense,
Nothing was right,
Darlin' I just want to hold you tonight.
Why is it wrong?
Tell me why is it strange?
Please tell me so I can make a change.
Even though it's all gone now,
I'm left asking why,
With no answers, I look to the sky.

I'm left with these questions. I can't get-
The answers at all, cause you left.
And now I'm alone, and you're set,
Against seeing me, since we met.

Told me but didn't,
Why it couldn't be.
Your vagueness it boggles
The mind inside me.

You said,

Nothing made sense,
Nothing was right,
Darlin' I just want to hold you tonight.
Why is it wrong?
Tell me why is it strange?
Please tell me so I can make a change.
Even though it's all gone now,
I'm left asking why,
With no answers, I look to the sky.

I fought for you, bled for you, now it's all wrong?
And I'm left here singing this stupid song?
And you could end this agony with one simple choice,
To let loose my agony, Let me hear your voice!

You said,

Nothing made sense,
Nothing was right,
Darlin' I just want to hold you tonight.
Why is it wrong?
Tell me why is it strange?
Please tell me so I can make a change.
Even though it's all gone now,
I'm left asking why,
With no answers, I look to the sky.

Joshua David Ling Augusta, Georgia

I am Joshua David Ling, and I am a storyteller. I’ve been telling stories ever since I was a wee tot in diapers. Mom and Dad couldn’t stop me, no matter how hard they tried. Of course, it didn’t help that I had a steady diet of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and other anachronistic tales that instilled in me a sense of wonder, longing, and chivalry. ... more
