Why

I look into your eyes
And your eyes meet mine
For one moment
I could see the pain inside
And I know it’s enough
To die inside

And you ask why
I was never there for you
Why I never told you
What it means 
To know the truth
Now you’re being dragged to hell

Lookin in your soul
I know what it means
To truly know pain inside
I never knew how you felt
And just how far you fell

And you ask why
I was never there for you
Why I never told you
What it means 
To know the truth
Now you’re being dragged to hell

Why the hell was I too ashamed
To show you what life means
I was so blessed 
And you felt cursed
And now I’m the one 
Who left you to the side

And you ask why
I was never there for you
Why I never told you
What it means 
To know the truth
Now you’re being dragged to hell
