Why?

I'm still here
I'm alive today
For some reason I was saved

I ask myself why
Why you thought
I shouldn't die
Why you thought
I deserved a life

I walked by so many
And no one ever noticed
That I was beginning
To lose faith

My smile was fading
As I was breaking
Tears crashing
Streaking down my face

No one to trust
Except for a few
But they didn't know
What to do

I didn't think
I deserved a life
And I didn't want to try
I was tired of the pain
I had held for so long
I was tired of everything I knew
Going wrong

I was tired of the weight
Of the blame I felt
For my father walking out

I was tired of trusting
Everyone who lied
I was tired of mistakes
I didn't want to try

I was tired of hearing words
That my step-father said
I was tired of believing
Every put down he said

But for some reason
You decided to help
And I don't know why
But I trusted you

So now today I wonder
Why you helped me
Through that time
Why you thought
I shouldn't die
Why you thought
I deserved
A happy life
