Why Can’t You See
You make me smile
I make you cry
You tell me you love me
I only ask you why
You make me happy
I make you mad
You always forgive me
but still I’m bad
You give yourself freely
I’m always taking
You’re always true
but I’m always faking
Why can’t you see
you deserve better than this
not this game I play
but true love and eternal bliss
Why are you so perfect
and I’m such a heel
you full of love and life
and me barely able to feel
How can you love
a nobody like me
when all I have to offer
is a heart too broken to be free
So show me a better way
to help me stay and fight
teach this fool how to love you
and finally get it right
Because without you I’m nothing
just another shadowless soul
Another wandering victim
to add to love's death toll
