Buying time, but time ain't on my side
And death is knockin' on my door
So here's my last goodbye
Tell me why does it have to be this way
Love is blind, but I can see the light
And the silver cord has broken now
And I'm floatin' out of sight
Tell me why does it have to be this way

Cuz' I'm like a tree that holds it's leaves in winter
And braves the cold and waits for spring bloom
But I'm cut down and thrown into your fire
To burn for you.

Don't you cry now that I'm dead and gone
Cuz' if this had never happened dear
You would never miss my love
Tell me why did ya have to be that way

Cuz' I'm like a tree that holds it's leaves in winter
And braves the cold and waits for spring bloom
But I'm cut down and thrown into your fire
To burn for you

Tell me why, tell me why is this my last goodbye
I had so much to live for now it's all gonna' wilt and die
Tell me why does it have to be this way
Tell me why, why oh why yeah why can't I stay
Tell me why did it have to be this way
Tell me why did I die today
