Was there something more I could have done?

Or was I not meant to be the one?

Where´s the life I thought we would share?

And should I care?

 

And will someone else get more of you?

Will she go to sleep more sure of you?

Will she wake up knowing you´re still there?

And why should I care?

 

There´s always one to turn and walk away

And one who just wants to stay

But who said that love is always fair?

And why should I care?

 

Should I leave you alone here in the dark?

Holding my broken heart

While a promise still hangs in the air

Why should I care?
