Please Tell Me Why

When I see your name
I swear it's not the fame
It's just the fact you pick me up when I'm sad

Won't you pick up the phone
You're leaving me alone
But I guess it's really not that bad

'Cause when you walk with me
And you're really begging me to try
But when I fall asleep
There's really nothing left to do but cry
Won't you please be mine
And if not please tell me why

The sounds of birds that sing
The telephones that ring
Are found to be a long distant memory
And now it's plain to see
What I claim to be
Is locked and tied away behind a key

And when the dust had cleared
And you had disappeared
The planet felt a sudden shake of despair
I looked to where you'd been
From that piece of tin
The rocket seared inside but you were not there

But still I walk with you
Traces of you remain deep inside of me
I could've opened my eyes to see
But you're gone and far from reality

Knew that you'd be mine
So give me one more try
