I risked my all
For what I might gain,
I never knew
It would be pain,
For if this is it,
What more can I ask?
What I need most now
Is to leave the past,
But in the end,
The past was all I have,
For if we may have fallen,
It was not in love,
And I know there's no reason
To ask you to stay
But what if I did,
Would we still end this way?
Yet the answers to my questions –
To every how and why,
Together they have left with you,
On the day you said goodbye
