It's been a long time since waltham road she said hey, why did you go,
it's getting darker in this room, where I used to dream of seeing through these walls, but you never saw.
Dad's always here to save your soul, I can't take the shouting at home no more so don't say hey, why did you go.
I always alone, how come you wanna talk to me now im gone. now I'm gone
It's been a long time since I called you Mum, but it's been a whole life since you showed me love, hey why did you go,
I think the age of five was our last hug, a brief encounter where you forgot yourself so don't say hey, why did you go.
