Mary Todd or Lincoln's Lament

• Artist: ZevonFan
• Description: This is another song from the show my friend and I are working on. It's what Lincoln sings about Mary Todd after her death. I still have some problems with some of the wording; that is, some of the phrasing sounds a bit awkward to me. Any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated.

Mary Todd, why did you leave me?
Mary Todd, why did you go?
Mary Todd, I thought you'd need me,
but the fates have come and said no.

Now I walk alone
without you by my side.
Mary Todd.
Mary Todd.
Mary Todd.
I wish it was I who died...
