Why???

I try not to break down so I hide
My true feelings deep inside
Though inside I cry
Because I have too much pride
To let tears drop down my eyes
Still bent on our relationship’s demise
Theirs something that I’ve realized
That I was meant for you
And you weren’t meant for I
So I sit hear reminisce and then sigh 
And ask myself this question every night
 WHY???

Sometimes I don’t think she knows 
How far my love for her goes
But since were not together
 I rather not let it show
But her love for me I see
Cuz when she’s mad she tends to blow
And I don’t see her much now
But since day one when I saw her face it glowed
A smile so relieving it takes off a load
And you can’t help but love her 
Even when she’s in that mode (*****)
So WHY let her go???

She’d say I was looking to score
I’d say the move was very immature
And if we kept it up you’d think it’s a war
So I’d politely say sorry and hang my head to the floor
And she’d look at me wit a nasty look and say sure
But in all you’re the reason my heart is now sore 
And I’m sure you’d say the same about yours
But still my feelings I can’t ignore 
So I sit in this pit and feel guilty
For everything I’ve made you endure
And constantly say sorry like it’s a cure
And ask myself WHY when we aren’t together 
I want you so much more
WHY???
