GAIL'S GARDENS
I don't know why you went away
I hope you are happier today
I meant all the peaceful words that were spoken
and my promises have never been broken
I don't know why you won't keep in touch
I hope you know I still love you so much
you can have anything you want from me
you can even have my sanity
don't know why
I don't know where you are
don't know why
you had to go so far
don't know why
you took everything I had
don't know why
you treated me so bad
I don't know why you won't let me
talk to the kids that are part of me
I meant all the peaceful words that were spoken
and promises are not made to be broken
I don't know why you won't let me know
how you all are or where you go
I just want to know that you are alright
and the kids sleep soundly each night
don't know why
you choose to leave me out
don't know why
you torture me with doubt
don't know why
you took everything that mattered to me
don't know why
you won't let me see
how are the kids growing
is my influence showing
do they remember my name?
does the love I gave them
condemn or save them
from shame or blame
did you teach them your game?
don't know why
you turned away my love
don't know why
you could not rise above
your fears
don't know why you choose to drown in tears
I don't know why you wouldn't stay
I hope you are happier today
I meant every loving word that was spoken
and my promises have never been broken
I don't know why you hide from me
I hope the kids know they'll always have me
and you're always welcome wherever I might be
if I could I would set you free
don't know why
you buried your heart
don't know why
you tore mine apart
don't know why
you chose to live a lie
don't know why
we never said goodbye
don't know why
I even try
don't know why
we don't say good bye
Don't Know Why
