Why Should I Forgive You?

Why should I forgive you,
you hurt me so.
When love I asked for,
you gave me a show.
When my parents came,
I wanted you there,
but you, you were drinking somewhere.
What for I asked,
was just pure love,
But you gave me hell,
the moon and the stars.
I didn't need your stupid presents,
all I wanted was you to be present.
You didn't understand me then,
and if you would, then tell me, when?
Now it's time for you to leave,
walk out the door and let's never see.
You ask me forgiveness,
is that so?
Why should I forgive you,
you'll hurt me more.
