It's 4 Am dark and cold
I didn't think I'd be that bold
It's hard to run my high heel shoes
On airport floors and dead end roads

Birds of steel light up the sky
And I'm left here, still asking why
...You didn't let me even cry

So why did you have to leave
I gave you all a girl can give
I did my best to keep you near
...I tried

I look the other way you disappeared
(You're all I'm thinking of)
I never thought I'd say it loud and clear
(So hear me now my love)
...But I love you I miss you, it's true

It's 5 Am crack of dawn
The sun strikes me bright and strong
I wonder what the hell went wrong
We had each other for so long

Birds of steel make such a noise
So no one here can hear my voice
Cracking as your plain takes off

I look the other way you disappeared
(You're all I'm thinking of)
I never thought I'd say it loud and clear
(So hear me now my love)
...But I love you I miss you, it's true


Why did you have to leave?
