Why, I asked

Why do you have to be a prince?

Why can’t you just be a jerk?

You act so nice around me,

That it makes my heart hope!

I tried to shield my heart,

But it keeps on begging for you,

While slowly breaking apart…

Inside I am just a shell,

A soul empty on its own!

But—

Why can I still breathe?

When I don’t have you...

Why my heart aches?

When I have to hate you...

Is it because I long for you?

Why can't I stop the tears?

When I know I can't have you...

Why does it have to end like that?

When we could rebuild the relationship once again,

Even only as a friend…

Why do they say nasty things about me?

When it isn't wrong for me to love you...

Is it a sin?

Is it against the law?

Since when love had a law?

Every person has freedom of speech...

So, why can't I be free to love you?

Is it because of her?

Do you really love her?

I know...

I have no match for her beauty,

Not enough brain to prove eloquence,

I don't have the grace and finesse,

Not enough money to compete with her wealth...

But isn't being me enough?

Or do you think my love is fraud?

Haven't I proven myself before?

Why? Oh, why can't you love me?

Will the pain continue?

Wouldn't you stop it?

Make it go away, please!

8 years had passed

Still I continue to love you...

When will the sorrow end?

When will the heavy weight be lifted?

When are you going to love me?

Will I just continue to wonder and ask?

Stupid Heart—it only beats for you.

Stupid Eyes—it only sees you.

Stupid Hands—it only wants to hold you.

Stupid Arms—it only wants to hug you.

Stupid Lungs—it only wants to breathe you.

Stupid Life—it only wants to live for you.

Stupid ME—I can't get over you!
