I know you did it out of pity
Every moment to you was hell
You were sweet and you were saintly
I thought I knew you so well
But you've got to tell me,
Why'd you even bother?
With your tricks and your deceptions
Why'd you even bother?
What made me the exception?1
Your friends all thought you were crazy
I thought we proved them wrong
You had to go and mix things up
Now you've got me singin' a song
But you've got to tell me,
Why'd you even bother?
With your tricks and your deceptions
Why'd you even bother?
What made me the exception?
Your words seem so translucent
I know you didn't mean any harm
I don't know why I fell for you
Maybe it was your cold hearted charm
Why'd you even bother?
With your tricks and deceptions
Why'd you even bother?
What made me the exception?2

This was good. I liked your word choice for the lyrics. Also some pretty good flow. However, I will have to dq you for not following rule #6. -
Depressing!
It fills me up with sadness reading the chorus or your poem. It was written so well and I could feel the pain in your voice as I read every line. What a wonderful effort. -
Wow, I like it. It sounds so familiar. You did very good.
