Why Stay

I don't know why you stay
What makes you so afraid
The look is on your face
The bruse's tuked away
Every time you stay
The silent tear's you cry
They never seem to dry
Is just not right 
Love is not surpose to hurt
And make you cry 
Why must you close your eye's
To what is making you cry
And hurt inside 
Why is your love so blind
You only see the love and not
What is hurting you is killing you inside
I don't know why you stay 
And stand by a love that make's
You cry 
And only hurting you and those
Around you 
I don't know why you stay
