Why did you see my beauty only when I lost it?
Why did you see my smile only when I wept?
Why did you feel my love only when I hated?
Why did you hear my truth only when I lied?
Why did you see my light only when I stepped into the dark?
Why did you hear my voice only when I ceased to talk?
Why did you see my innocence only when I sinned?
Why did you ask me to stay only when I tried to leave?
Why did you come looking only when I tried to hide?
Why did you see only when I accepted blindness?
Why did you see my body only when I tried to disappear?
Why did you see ME only when I tried to block YOU out?
Why do you hurt me? Why do I hurt you? Why do I hurt me?
