Without a Word Lyrics

How could you leave
Leave without a word
How could you do this to your own

Go out alone to save a stranger
A distant memory that stirred

Weren't we enough
All that you could want
Weren't we enough to hold you home

You made a vow to be with me
When you were never really free

But I'll be brave
And I'll be strong

You'll never know from me that you've done something wrong

And from my lips
And from my eyes

I'll give you everything i should
A loving wife's goodbyes

I'd follow you
I'd be selfish too
I'd gladly join you in the grave

But there's a vow I won't betray
She'll never see me walk away

For I was once where she could be
Abandoned young without a home or family

And though my soul will die with you
Our child will not be left alone
To spend a lifetime wondering how

How you could leave when we need you so much
How can I live without feeling your touch

Without asking you why
Without saying goodbye
Without a word
