The Question (feat. Noel)

(The question that I have to ask)
I didn't think I'd ever see you
(The question that I have to ask)
But now that you're here
There's something I'd like to ask you
(You took the love and threw it all away)

It's been so long since I've seen you last
There's so many things I have to ask
Please stop a while and let me have some time

So tell me what you've been doing with yourself
I'd like to know (I'd like to know)
To be honest, you are always on my mind

I think about the times we had
So much good it makes me mad, oh
To think that you just walked away
Without a word to say

The question that I have to ask
Since I have the chance to ask, it is
After all this time's gone by
Please tell me why
The question that burns in my mind
That I've been living with deep down inside
Is why you never even said goodbye?

The question that I have to ask
Please tell me why, why, why, why

The scars have taken time to heal
But now you're here, once more, I feel
The pains that were subdued return again

Not a word you said to me before you left that day
Please tell me honestly and be my friend

I think about the times we had
So much good it makes me mad, oh
What did I do, please, let me know
Was it so bad it made you go?

The question that I have to ask
Since I have the chance to ask, it is
After all this time's gone by
Please tell me why
The question that burns in my mind
That I've been living with deep down inside
Is why you never even said goodbye?
Why did you have to go?

I will (I will, I will, I will)
Be strong (be strong, be strong, be strong)
You took the love and threw it all away

The question that I have to ask
Since I have the chance to ask, it is
After all this time's gone by
Please tell me why (Please tell me why, oh)
The question that burns in my mind
That I've been living with deep down inside
Is why you never even said goodbye?
