Lyrics: Liesl-Mae Yew Shu Wen
Music: Liesl-Mae Yew Shu Wen/Brandon Shen
There’s a wife, now a widow
Just sitting alone
Reminiscing on the old times
As they come and they go
How did it go wrong?
“How can I fall apart when
all I hear is ‘be strong’?”
No way, oh why
Is life like this?
Would’ve held on a little longer had I known it was the last kiss
No way, oh what
Am I supposed to do?
Forever’s not forever if it’s without you
There’s a son, he’s an athlete
On Wednesdays, he runs
A whole life ahead of him
Barely twenty-one
So much more for him to learn
These days it gets harder
Cause how is a boy to grow
Without his father?
No way, oh why
Is life like this?
It never gets easier with all the games you miss
No way, oh why
Did you have to go?
I hate that you’re not here to watch me grow
There’s a girl, she’s the eldest
A storm brews in her head
She’s tossing and turning
Can’t make peace with the regret
Realising that everything
Was too little too late
She wishes that her daddy
Could just hear her say
No way, oh why
Couldn’t you wait?
I finally figured it out
I was on my way
No way, oh what
Am I supposed to do?
I love you but
I don’t think that you ever had a clue
No way, oh why
Is life like this?
All I do these days
Is cry and reminisce
No way, oh why
Is life like this?
I see you in my dreams now…
and it’s bliss
