Why?

Why wasn't I enough for you to try?

Every night, I sit and I think about you, and I cry.

Endless, sleepless nights, laying in bed, waiting for your reply,

But it never came...

And I know I only have myself to blame, but...

Nobody else could ever make me feel the same...

You love me, so you claimed,

But then why... Why was it so easy to leave me?

When I was happier than I could ever be.

The sight of your smile filled my heart with glee.

But then you left me, saying you were setting me free.

After I lost you that day,

I fell down on my knees, and I prayed for the better days

Praying for someone to wipe these tears away

Begging for someone who would stay,

Begging them, 'please don't leave'

Oh, how I was so naive

Now I know your love was make believe, but

Why?

Why wasn't I enough for you to try?

Every night, I sit and I think about you, and I cry.

Endless, sleepless nights, laying in bed, waiting for your reply.

But it never came...

And I know I only have myself to... blame....
