Siyabonga A Nxumalo - WHY?

Why you didn't tell me honey?
That, that was a kiss
And a goodbye.

Why you didn't tell me babe?
That you were leaving for good,
That the tears i cried
Were just the begining of floods.
Why babe?

If i knew it was our last goodbye,
If i knew that was our last kiss,
If i knew that,
That the taxi was taking
You away from me.
I was gona ask you, WHY?

After all those promises you made,
After all those memorable moments,
After all those kisses and hugs,
After all the love i showered you with.
Why honey?
Why?

I vividly remember that friday morning,
The sun was bright and the air was fresh.
Birds were flying peacefully.
Butterflies were flying from
One flower to the other, in pairs.
It was beautiful,
It was a beautiful morning

I built castles in the air
You destroyed them with your absence.

I still remember your smile
That used to my knees weak.
I still remember that look....
Oh! babe why?

Why you didn't tell me that,
Tomorrow was not gona
Find you where yesterday left you?

That tomorrow you'll be singing
A different tune.

That my love, was
Not love enough for you.
Why?

I regret planning my life
Around what i thought was
A rock, only to realize later,
It was just a hip of sand
That water washed away easily.

My eyes keep looking back,
Looking for that beautiful flower
They saw yesterday.
