Why Do We

Why do we feel alone
When you’re right here in front of us

Why do we hurt others
When you forgive us

Why do we lie
When you tell us the truth

Why do we hate
When you love us

Why do we get angry
When you show us happiness 

Why do we need
When you give us grace

Why do we get lost 
When you’re the way

Why do we do all these things
When you still let us in your heart
