Lover Why
Mark Ashley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why Lover why?
Why do flowers die?
Why Lover, why? - Why?

It's time to fly
I've lost my life - forgot to die
Like any man - a frightende guy
I'm keeping memories inside, I wouldm't glow

But I know
I'm more than sad and more today
I'm beating words, too hard to say
A single tear and I'm away-away-I'm gone

I need you so far from hell, so far form you...
'Cause heaven's hard and black and grey...
You're just a someone - gone away
You never said goodbye

Why Lover why?
Why do flowers die?
Why Lover, why? - Why?

Everytime
I hear your voice - you heard my name
You've been the fire wrapped the flame
I swim for life - can't take the rain
No turning back

I need you so far from hell, so far form you...
'Cause heaven's hard and black and grey...
You're just a someone - gone away
You never said goodbye

Why Lover why?




Why do flowers die?
Why Lover, why? - Why? - Why?
