I NEED TO KNOW (Song Lyrics)

I know that you are leaving,
You’ve taken back your heart,
And the love that you gave me,
And torn my heart apart.

But mine, you’ll have forever,
Does that mean anything?
You’re throwing it away, dear,
All for a careless fling.

What is it that she gives you?
That I have failed to give,
And will you tell me, darling,
When you go, how do I live?

Chorus:

I don’t know why you’re leaving,
But I’m watching you go,
And as I sit crying,
My heart wants so to know.

You’ve packed all your belongings,
But left your wedding ring,
And, darling, have you noticed,
You’re leaving one last thing…

You’re leaving me your memory,
And a broken heart,
But will you tell me, darling,
Before we have to part…

How will I live without you?
What made you want to go?
My darling, can you tell me?
These things I need to know.

Chorus:

I don’t know why you’re leaving,
But I’m watching you go,
And as I sit crying,
My heart wants so to know.

I remember how you loved me,
The day we said I do,
I saw it in your eyes, dear,
When our love was new.

But now you are so cold, love,
Already, you are gone.
I know I’ll be alone, dear,
Before the break of dawn.

Your silence fills the room now,
And I’m left here to pay,
But I can’t help but wonder,
Will you regret this day?

Chorus:

I don’t know why you’re leaving,
But I’m watching you go,
And as I sit crying,
My heart wants so to know…
My heart wants so to know.
