Why Do We Love

Why are life’s lessons always learned so hard?
Why do we torture ourselves over everything and,
Why are we always hating who we are?
Why do we love, and why does it tear us apart?

Why do we want what we just can’t have?
Why do we care when we don’t know anything and,
Why do we cry when we ought to laugh?
Why do we love? Tell me.

Why do we fall in love?
Why can’t I ever have the one I’m dreaming of?
Why did I fall in love?
I’d ask the heavens up above, but there’s no one to hear me.

Why does her visage make me fall apart?
Why can’t I sleep anymore, for the thought of her and,
Why have I completely given up my heart?
Why do we love? Why do I love her?

She is so beautiful in every way.
I wouldn’t trade it, though I feel so miserable and,
I guess this is the way I’m going to stay.
Why do we love? Tell me.

Why do we fall in love?
Why can’t I ever have the one I’m dreaming of?
Why did I fall in love?
I’d ask the heavens up above, but there’s no one to hear me.

Why do we fall in love?
Why can’t I ever have the one I’m dreaming of?
Why did I fall in love?
I’d ask the heavens up above, but there’s no one to hear me.
