How come dogs die?
And kids get cancer?
How Come bad things happen?
How come they happen to me?

Before
I never asked why
I never had enough sadness
To wonder

And now I need the answer
Like air in my lungs
Like I needed you

But the empty room offers no answers
or comfort

No excuses
Just loneliness

And the sadness is a river

of dead dogs
and dying children
And I'm facing the flood alone?

How Come?

I guess I can live without the answer

I sure learned how to live without you
