A Reason Why

Why do these eyes of mine cry? There has to be a reason why. In the beginning there was only blue skies, But they've turned grey and the sky cries. Why could I never look you in the eye? There has to be a reason why. They tell me I'm crazy to even try, They say it will always be goodbye. Why do I fall to pieces when you walk by? There has to be a reason why. Straight to you I yearn to fly, And in your arms dance in the sky. Why do I feel the need to try? There has to be a reason why. For you I refused to comply, To those who dared to deny. Why did I never see the lies? There has to be a reason why. I have no more tears left in me to cry, At times I just wish I could die. Why when I breathe do I only sigh? There has to be a reason why. It felt like a grave when you never said goodbye, After everything, you turn away when I cry. Why did you bring me blue skies? There has to be a reason why. When we first met I was so shy, But now I long only to look into your eyes. Why does it hurt when my love you deny? There has to be a reason why. I never thought you'd make me cry, They say it's time to say goodbye.
