What's the use?
What's the use of getting up
to face another day?
My life is merely an existence,
since you went away.
What's the use of living
if my life's an empty shell?
I wear a smile as a facade
to hide the pain I know so well.
Why should I plan ahead
as other people do?
What's the purpose of a future
if it can't be shared with you?
I loved you so completely,
but sadly, I have learned;
What's the use of loving
if the love is not returned?
