En 1990, el mundo del rock alternativo estaba en plena ebullición, especialmente en la ciudad de Seattle. Fue en este contexto, marcado por un sentimiento de intensa camaradería y tragedia, donde se gestó Temple Of The Dog. La banda se creó como un tributo al fallecido Andrew Wood, líder de las bandas Malfunkshun y Mother Love Bone, quien murió trágicamente de una sobredosis de heroína. Este fue un golpe devastador para sus amigos y compañeros de banda, quienes decidieron rendirle homenaje a través de la música.
El guitarrista Stone Gossard y el bajista Jeff Ament eran miembros de Mother Love Bone y fueron de los más afectados por la pérdida de Wood. Unieron fuerzas con Chris Cornell, vocalista de Soundgarden y amigo cercano de Wood, para canalizar su dolor y recuerdos en un proyecto musical. Cornell compuso dos canciones, "Say Hello 2 Heaven" y "Reach Down", como un tributo directo a su amigo fallecido. Este fue el núcleo alrededor del cual se formó Temple Of The Dog.
Poco a poco, otros músicos se sumaron al proyecto. El guitarrista Mike McCready y el baterista Matt Cameron, quienes más tarde serían parte de Pearl Jam y Soundgarden respectivamente, se unieron al grupo.

Why Did She Have To Leave Me (Why Did She Have To Go?) Song Lyrics
Why Did She Have To Leave Me (Why Did She Have To Go?) by Temple Of The Dog There were times I knew
But I found it hard to say
You were special in my life
Never thought you'd go away
I'll be strong
I'll get by
Without you in my life
I can see
Through your lies
Did you ever love me
I never found your love
You and I know
Love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I
Even try
You and I know
Love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Someone else
I will find
A memory I've left behind
If I ever made you cry
Any reason I can't find
It was lonely by your side
Like a fool, I stood by you
I'll be strong
I'll get by
Without you in my life
I can see
Through your lies
Did you ever love me
I never found your love
You and I know
Love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I
Even try
You and I know
Love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Someone else
I will find
A memory I've left behind
Is there something I could do
Is there something I should say
Is there someone else to keep you from
And now (Woah, woah, yeah, yeah yeah-yeah-yeah)
You and I know
Love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I
Even try
You and I know
Love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Someone else
I will find
A memory I've left behind
You and I know
Love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I
Even try
You and I know
Love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Why should I
Even try
