Why Would You?

The screen lit up with your face, I froze in time
Chains that bound you, etched in my mind
What were you thinking? How could you leave?
Did you forget the promises you made to me?

I needed you here, not down on your knees
Not trading your life for someone else’s pleas
You’re my father, aren’t you meant to stay?
But you just turned and walked away

Tell me, did you think of me?
Did my name even cross your mind?
Was I just too blind to see
I’ve been left behind?

Why would you throw yourself away
For someone who always walks away?
Don’t you see what you mean to me?
Why wasn’t I enough to make you stay?

Why would you give up all we’ve had
For something fleeting, for something sad?
I'm here screaming, but you can’t hear me call—
Why would you risk it all?

I’ve seen you falter, I’ve seen you weak
But I thought I was the reason you’d never retreat
You promised me the stars, and now you’re gone
The sky’s too empty, the night’s too long

Is it his voice that matters more?
His smile the solace you’re fighting for?
What about the little girl you once sang to sleep?
Now I'm drowning, and you’re far too deep

Did you see the tears I cried
As the cameras showed your fate?
Did you think you’d make this right
Or was it far too late?

Why would you throw yourself away
For someone who always walks away?
Don’t you see what you mean to me?
Why wasn’t I enough to make you stay?

Why would you give up all we’ve had
For something fleeting, for something sad?
I'm here screaming, but you can’t hear me call—
Why would you risk it all?

I’ve always feared the day you’d leave
That nightmare’s real, and now I grieve
I can’t forgive what you’ve done tonight
Sacrificed our bond for your wrongs to make right

You left me with her, the one who never cared
And now I'm stranded, broken, and scared
How could you put him above your own?
Now I'm here, fatherless, all alone

Why would you throw yourself away
For someone who always walks away?
Don’t you see what you mean to me?
Why wasn’t I enough to make you stay?

Why would you give up all we’ve had
For something fleeting, for something sad?
I'm here screaming, but you can’t hear me call—
Why would you risk it all?

If I was enough, would you have stayed?
Would you have chosen another way?
I’ll never know what mattered more—
The stars you promised or the wars you swore

Why would you risk it all?
Why did you let me fall?
