Lyrics

Tell me why
Why good hearts always end up bleeding?
And why love feels so beautiful
But hurts so deep?
Why you tell me forever if forever fade away?
Why your tears drop heavy when you begging me to stay?
Why the strongest people smile
While they breaking down inside?
Why the lonely souls still got the biggest hearts to hide?
Why mama cry alone when the bills stack to the ceiling?
Why papa lose his soul chasing money, chasing healing?
Why the youth dem full of rage
With no hand fi guide the way?
Why the candles light the streets for another soul today?
'Cause life no always gentle, no
Storms come without warning
But every scar upon your skin still prove your heart still beating
And every soul that ever broke still searching for some meaning
That's why the moon still shines at night
For hearts that still are grieving
Why do we love if goodbye can steal the light?
Why do we dream if tears gon' fall at night?
Why does the pain stay long after you gone?
Why do the memories still sing your song?
And the answer whispers soft through the rain
Because even broken hearts can love again
Why the old man sit alone by the shop every day?
Why nobody stop and ask if he okay?
Why little children lose hope before they even grow?
Why some people hide depression with a smile nobody know?
Why your picture still beside me near the bed?
Why your voice still echo loud inside my head?
Why I still set two plates at dinner by mistake?
Why my soul still call your name when my whole world start to shake?
No, weh no miss a fear, but snow
Even when bodies leave us
The spirit hold the memories
In every breath between us
And every tear that hit the floor
Still water seeds of healing
One day the sun gon' rise again
For hearts that lost the feeling
Why do we love if goodbye can steal the light?
Why do we dream if tears gon' fall at night?
Why does the pain stay long after you gone?
Why do the memories still sing your song?
And the answer whispers soft through the rain
Because even broken hearts can love again
Heaven got a phone, I'd call you tonight
Just to hear you say everything alright
One more laugh, one more dance
One more chance to hold your hand
But silence answer back my cry
While tears fall from the sky
And all I hear the night wind say
Love never truly dies
Why do the good ones leave too soon sometimes?
Why do we carry guilt for the rest of our lives?
Why every goodbye feel like the end of the world?
Why heartbreak still hurt grown men and girls?
And the answer floats slow through the pain
Because the heart remembers what the soul can't explain
Tell me why
Maybe we cry because love was real
Maybe the pain only proves
We cared enough to feel
