Why?

Why is it so hard for me to say good-bye,
When all you want is to go?

Why do you have to lie,
When it’s the truth I want to know?

Why can’t I hurt you,
But you only do me harm?

Why do you show no wounds,
When I have scars on both my arms?

Why do I cry,
When you shed no tears?

Why is it you’re not afraid,
When you’re my biggest fear?

Why is it you forgot to mention,
But I couldn’t help but say?

That the only reason I love you,
Is because I hoped you’d feel the same way.

How is it you can kiss my lips
Without feeling what I feel?

How is it I could’ve believed something so fake
Could ever be real?

Why can’t you wait for me
But I spend all my time?

Hoping you would finally see
What you left behind.

And why do you pretend
When I’ve done nothing but give my heart?

That what we have in the end
Won’t eventually tear us apart.

Why can’t I be without you
But you do just fine on your own?

Why do I feel like the child
When you’re the one who needs to grow?

Why is it I can write this all down
But I can’t find the way

To tell you how much you hurt me
To tell you, I’m not okay

Why did you have to break my heart
And leave it in pieces on the floor?

When all I ever wanted
Was for you to love me more?
