Why does my heart break
only to make me pick up the pieces again
why do I hide from you
when you try to seek me
in the dark all alone
Why do I dance
even though there is no music
why do I love
when I do not understand
just what it feels like
Why do you trust me
even after I betrayed you
Why do I believe in the illusion of us
when you do not feel for me
the same as I do you
Why do I walk
even though I can run
why do I serenade you
when you find yourself unworthy
for something I find only in you
Why do you talk to me
for hours on end
why do I harden myself
against the world around me
only to find it passed me by
Why do I cry at night
alone and concealed
why do I look at the stars
and think of you only
and not anyone else
why does my heart break
when I see your face
why me
