Why?
Catherine withnell 1989 (Delano)
Why is a question I cannot answer
Why do we fall in love?
Why do we fall apart?
Where does it end?
Where does it start?
You made me happy
You made me sad
You made me worry
And you made me mad
I cried cried and cried
Yet still I tried
But why?
You told me that you loved me
You'd show me that you cared
But then why?
Did you get scared?
We were forever you said
But then why?
Was she the one in your bed?
I'm not trying to sit here and whine
I'm just trying to find
A reason why
I was so kind , but ,
Also , so blind.
