Enlighten Me

i don't understand
what this is all about
why didn't you say
that you were going to walk out?
why couldn't you leave me
with one more goodbye?
how could you have left me
to sit here and cry?
please, enlighten me,
tell me, this isn't real
please, tell me
that you know how i feel
tell me that you can see me
as i sit and i weep
tell me that you're guarding me
as i silently sleep
why didn't you ask
if i'd go with you?
because if you had,
i have gone too
please, enlighten me
why not someone else?
please, tell me
why sacrifice yourself?
you can't know
how desperate i am
just to see your sweet smile
all over again
you can't see
all my of my sorrow
knowing the lies
of a better tomorrow
what is tomorrow
when you're not there?
why should i worry?
why should i care?
please, enlighten me
where are you now?
please, tell me
that you will keep your vow
you made a promise
to love me eternally
but what is forever
when you've been taken from me?
what is a promise
that cannot be kept?
because you were stolen
in the night as i slept
and while you were slipping
i dreamt of you and i
who would have known
you were going to die?
and i can't stop these tears
even though i should
because you're never coming back
although i wish you would
i wish you could enlighten me
as to why you had to go
and i wish you could tell me
just once more
that you love me so
