You Keep Me Wondering Why

It's funny the way things in life turn out,
The way it plays you into thinking you can
Turn around and change the outcome, make it different;
And why it's not? You just don't understand.

It's amusing how much everything turns into a lie,
How nothing is as you hoped, and it all just burns to ash.
The rich are poor, and the poor don't exist,
Everything's all topsy turvy, then gone in a flash.

Promises are made to be broken, never really kept-
The reason why no one ever gets the truth.
Lies were invented to cover up reality,
So in the end it always comes back to you.

And as I contemplate these thoughts of mine,
I turn over many questions in my head?
Why did you do it; why couldn't you just tell me;
And why am I still alive to you instead of dead?

It's things like this that keep this hope burning,
But it's a hope I've grown to slowly hate.
I wish you'd just tell me the truth already,
But instead you're keeping me here, making me wait.

There's no more point to my hoping anymore,
But why I still do is something I can't quite understand.
You lead me on, as you claim to love her, so why do you do it?
Because you're making me think I can.




You keep me wondering why...
