Tell Me Please Tell Me

When the night came, I thought you were here
When the shadows drew, I thought you'd be here
When the rain fell, I looked all around
When the sky turned gray, you promised you'd stay

So tell me please tell me, where did you go?
Tell me please tell me, why weren't you here?
Tell me please tell me, why did you promise me
Tell me please tell me, why did you leave.

Yeah you said
When the bombs hit, "I'll be here with you"  
When the bombs hit, "I'll protect you from fear"
But when the bombs hit, I couldn't see you
And when the bombs hit, I cowered in fear

So tell me please tell me, where did you go?
Tell me please tell me, why weren't you here?
Tell me please tell me, why did you promise me
Tell me please tell me, why did you leave.

When the screaming started, I thought I heard you
When the rain poured down, I thought you were there
When the dust it settled, I thought I saw you
So I stood and ran, I scoured the land

But when I found you, you were holed up and still.
When I found you, your skin had turned gray
When I found you, your chest didn't move
When I found you, you were dead in the ground

So tell me please tell me, where did you go?
Tell me please tell me, why weren't you here?
Tell me please tell me, why did you promise me
Tell me please tell me... why did you leave, here I am scarred, bruised and broke down. Tell me please tell me.. why choose a gravestone, tell me please tell me, why did you go.

This is, as you can see (hopefully), a song. I actually do have a tune for it. And if enough people find it not absolutely horrible and give it a vote or comment, perhaps I'll sing it for you. (My voice isn't completely horrible I promise).
