I don't want you, to give it all up
And leave your own life, collecting dust
And I don't want you, to feel sorry for me
You never gave us, a chance to be
And I don't need you, to be by my side
To tell me, that everything's alright
I just wanted you, to tell me the [bad word] You know I'd do that for you

So why are [bad word] away?
Why are [bad word] away?

Cause I did enough, to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life, had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing, that I can do or say
So now I need you, to tell me the [bad word] You know I'd do that for you

So why are [bad word] away?
Why are [bad word] away?

Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that, I can do
To make you, change your mind
(Why do [bad word] away? Won't do)
Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that, I can do
(Why do [bad word] away?)
Is it a, waste of time?

Is it me? Is it you? Nothing that, I can do
To make you, change your mind, oh!

So why are [bad word] away?
Why are [bad word] away?
(What is it I have to say)
So why are [bad word] away?
(To make you admit you're afraid?)
Why are [bad word] away?
