Questions
I started dying when my life started
My life started when l first met you
They never told me that love hurts
And they didn't tell me that it was going to be easy
As the clock ticks my love for you grows
Loving you is my curse
It is killing me
Yet it is the only thing that is keeping me intact
It is the only thing worth smiling about
Deep in the woods
Lying under a tree
I am a young man
A typical countryboy
Seeking any source of comfort
I cherish my every smile
Even though love motivates me
Pain inspires me
My happiness does not last
Loneliness is my only friend
And sadness is my norm
Deep in the woods
I thought l had nothing to give
Until it finally hit me
I could give you my heart
What if l gave you my heart
My old dusty heart
Would you accept it
Would you brush it clean
Willing to see what is beneath the dust
I ask myself questions
Why
Why do roses have thorns
Is it because love has to end badly
Or is it just because the motives are always not right
Why does love hurt
Is it because we love too much
Or do we just expect too much from love
Why is life so unfair
Are we lacking wisdom
Does it just have to be this way
Why is sadness stronger than joy
Is it the world we live in
Or is it just us
What
What gives birth to tears
Is it a lot of emotions
Or are they just an expression
What really makes the world go round
What does time have to do with life
If time is money
And money is the root of all evil
Does that mean that time is bad
If time really heals old wounds
Then what happens to good broken hearts
How
How do we smile in face of tragedy
Is it because we are strong
Or we just do not have a choice
How do tears lighten a heavy heart
Do they make it float
Or juss divert our attention
How does time mend a broken heart
Does it teach us how to live with the pain
Or just make us forget
