Lyrics

Why do people go
I really wanna know
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And I don't really seem to understand
Why do people go
I really wanna know know know
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And sometimes it don't feel like it was planned
Like a soft gentle wind
A slowly falling leaf
The ones we love are always near
They just get harder to see
They shine up in the stars
They dance in the rain
Their love
It never fades
It just feels like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
It's like a footprint in the sand
Or the sun high in the sky
Cause even flowers bloom
And then they have to wave goodbye
Cause people do move on
But they're never gone
As long as you remember them
I promise they live on
I really wanna know
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And I don't really seem to understand
Why do people go
I really wanna know know know
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And sometimes it don't feel like it was planned
Sometimes the sun goes night night
And the little birds take flight
Sometimes the sun goes night night
And the little birds take flight
This is something we all go through
It's a natural part of life
And sometimes it's so hurtful
And we don't get to say goodbye
And the question we have is why
And the answer makes us cry
But when you miss someone so badly
You can close both of your eyes
Let the memories cover you
In warm feelings similar to sunrise
So this here's from your guy
I just wanted you to know
That the people that we love
They never truly go
I really wanna know
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And I don't really seem to understand
Why do people go
I really wanna know
Oh oh
It's like they're here one second
And then they're gone the next one
And sometimes it don't feel like it was planned
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
