Background
     After 5 tumuluous months, my relationship with Alan ended. In the course of a couple hours after the breakup, I went thru the necessary range of emotions, from sad to mad to glad. Then I wrote this song. It describes in great detail the process of the night we broke up. I performed this song on my last cruise for the talent show.

Dedication
     Dedicated to Alan.
Lyrics
Verse 1: The time has come to say good-bye
I sit here and try not to cry
I don’t want to look you in the eye
Just leave, good-bye
I look down at my hands and think of the words you have spoken
I desperately try to understand, my heart is broken

Chorus: Why are you leaving?
Whay can’t you stay?
Why must you go so far away?
Why are you leaving?
Why can’t you stay?
Why must you go away?

Verse 2
: Lock myself in a bathroom stall
I don’t think I ever want to leave at all
I tell myself I’ve got to stand tall
Return to the table and try not to bawl
I wait for one of us to speak
But you just sit there in silence and stare
The thought of losing you makes me weak
I wonder if you ever really cared me
      
Chorus

Verse 3: So many things I have to say
I’ll save my heartache for a rainy day
You’re still gonna break me anyway
No matter what I say
So hear me out
You could’ve shown some consideration for me feelings
I just want to scream and shout a thousand things that you and I were concealing
         
Chorus

Chorus 2: I know why you’re leaving 
I know why you can’t stay
I know why you feel that you must go so far away
I know why you’re leaving and why you can’t stay
So go away
I still want you but go away
I don’t need you so go away
And I still love you but go away
You hurt me. Go away.
