Lyrics for Funeral for a Firefly

Is it too late to ask why? (I thought you wouldn't understand...) Answers to questions that I'll never know. (...I'm sorry.) Why make me an audience? Why extinguish a light not yet dim? Who I was fell lifeless on the ground next to you so how dare you run away? Certainly too late for a goodbye. (I just had to get away.) I guess someone I know is now someone I knew. (One day you'll forget...) I wish I were there with you. I wish I could feel nothingness. But you selfishly left me behind as if I don't deserve to die... You left me all alone. Do I lack the strength to find my own escape? Why do you get to die while I have to go on? Why?
