Why?

Why do I love you?

There's so much that's wrong.

Why should i love you?

The list isn't long.

You make me cry

All alone at night.

You pass me by

Even though I'm right.

You fill me full of hopes

Again and again.

You make it hard to cope

In my lonely pen.

You string me along

Just to drop me on the way.

You treat me oh so wrong,

But it's only you I crave.

You can't love me,

But you make me love you.

You don't want me to see

Anyone but you.

You deny it, but I know;

It's me I don't understand.

My heart is yours to throw-

Why don't I want this to end?

It's masochism, I think,

The way I want you,

But I'm never on the brink

Of saying I'm through.

All you do is hurt me,

And my heart always breaks,

But it's only you I see,

And my love for you aches.

But the way you look at me

When we're all alone

Is all I want to see,

And you're my only one.

The way your hair glistend

In the light of the moon,

And the way you listen

Will carry me through.

The way your smile melts my heart,

Is enough to make me whole,

And the way you fix my broken parts

Makes my love a smoldering coal.

Why do I love you

When the road's so tough?

But I still will love you,

And I know that's enough.
