Why?

I remember that day clearly,

I remember that day clearly, As bright as the blue sky,

I remember that day clearly, As bright as the blue sky, With my arm around my girl's shoulder,

I remember that day clearly, As bright as the blue sky, With my arm around my girl's shoulder, I walked the school corridors where I was king.

Then it all happened,

Then it all happened, The day I shall never forget,

Then it all happened, The day I shall never forget, When I saw him walk up to me,

Then it all happened, The day I shall never forget, When I saw him walk up to me, And block my path so boldly.

One second we looked at each other,

One second we looked at each other, The next second his lips met mine,

One second we looked at each other, The next second his lips met mine, I remember my friends pushing him away,

One second we looked at each other, The next second his lips met mine, I remember my friends pushing him away, I remember my girlfriend screaming.

They kicked him and punched him,

They kicked him and punched him, While he lay curled up in a ball,

They kicked him and punched him, While he lay curled up in a ball, I stood frozen staring,

They kicked him and punched him, While he lay curled up in a ball, I stood frozen staring, I was filled with indescribable disgust.

They drew blood,

They drew blood, They called him a fucking freak,

They drew blood, They called him a fucking freak, They watched his silent tears,

They drew blood, They called him a fucking freak, They watched his silent tears, I was filled with indescribable disgust.

Arms around my shoulder,

Arms around my shoulder, Consoling me for the incident,

Arms around my shoulder, Consoling me for the incident, Told me I would be ok,

Arms around my shoulder, Consoling me for the incident, Told me I would be ok, I was filled with indescribable disgust.

My friends promised me they'd kill him,

My friends promised me they'd kill him, The next time the freak set eyes on me,

My friends promised me they'd kill him, The next time the freak set eyes on me, My girl kissed me in consolation,

My friends promised me they'd kill him, The next time the freak set eyes on me, My girl kissed me in consolation, I was filled with indescribable disgust.

I was filled with indescribable disgust,

I was filled with indescribable disgust, Disgust towards my friends, towards the girl I called my love, Disgust towards myself,

I was filled with indescribable disgust, Disgust towards my friends, towards the girl I called my love, Disgust towards myself, Disgust towards everyone, but him.

They didn't notice me kiss him back,

They didn't notice me kiss him back, They didn't see my eyes steal glances at him,

They didn't notice me kiss him back, They didn't see my eyes steal glances at him, They didn't see the tears in my eyes as I saw him fall,

They didn't notice me kiss him back, They didn't see my eyes steal glances at him, They didn't see the tears in my eyes as I saw him fall, They didn't see the understanding in our eyes.

They didn't notice me kiss him back, They didn't see my eyes steal glances at him, They didn't see the tears in my eyes as I saw him fall, They didn't see the understanding in our eyes. But I saw the disappointment in his, As I stood silent, Saying nothing.

That day, twenty years ago,

That day, twenty years ago, That day I did nothing,

That day, twenty years ago, That day I did nothing, We never saw each other again,

That day, twenty years ago, That day I did nothing, We never saw each other again, No one ever spoke of it again.

As I turn over,

As I turn over, I see the woman sleeping beside me,

As I turn over, I see the woman sleeping beside me, I hear the slow snores of my children next door,

As I turn over, I see the woman sleeping beside me, I hear the slow snores of my children next door, And I finally let the tears fall.

As I turn over, I see the woman sleeping beside me, I hear the slow snores of my children next door, And I finally let the tears fall.

As I turn over, I see the woman sleeping beside me, I hear the slow snores of my children next door, And I finally let the tears fall.
