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.
