Lyrics
Why, why, why did you say goodbye?
Expressing sorrow and questioning the reason for the farewell.
Why did you walk out on me?
Asking why the person chose to leave.
Cry, cry, cry I feel like I could die
Describing intense emotional pain and a feeling of potential emotional death.
Why did you go and leave me lonely?
Questioning the decision to abandon and the resulting loneliness.
What did I do?
Pondering actions or behaviors that may have led to the departure.
What did I say
Reflecting on words spoken that might have contributed to the separation.
To make you just walk out and leave me this way?
Expressing confusion and hurt about the abrupt departure.
Please come back and tell me
Pleading for the person to return and explain the reason for leaving.
What I did wrong
Willing to acknowledge mistakes and seeking understanding.
And I'll make it up to you
Promising to make amends if the person comes back.
If you just come back home

I'll try, try, try as each day goes by
Committing to continuous effort in winning back the person's happiness.
To make you glad that you came back to me
Expressing a desire to bring joy to the person who returns.
No more good-byes and no more tears to cry
