How could you leave

You left us standing in the cold night air

Hearts in pieces with no one to care

Brother by my side holding on so tight

Faces full of tears, dimly lit by star light

How could you both walk away so fast

Like we were shadows from the distant past

Dropped us off without looking behind

What was on your hearts what was in your minds

Mom and dad how could you leave us

We needed you, we begged, we grieved

Was our love just a burden to high

How could you say goodbye bye

Little hands reached for a glimpse of hope

Climbing the walls just trying to cope

Echos of laughter, now a distant ghost

Family dinner with no one to toast

Were we to loud, were we not enough

Was life with us really that tough

Searching for answers in an endless sea

Finding only shadows, where love should be

Mom and dad how could you leave

We needed you we begged, we grieved

Was our love just a burden to high

How could you say goodbye.
