Why

Why do we run away from our fears Away from our own past dreams and tears Afraid of our previous mistakes Never wanting to bring up the past No matter whatever it takes We will try to make our present last Trying to make the world and time delay Wanting to live through the moment But we have become yesterday's prey When tomorrow became the opponent Watching our ending-days become years Desiring that our past hope reappears Why do we tend to tear people apart Making them feel less than from the start When we hide our hurt and imperfections Leaving their hearts cold and bare When we hide from our false reflections Filling their lives with endless despair As we fade into our lies of delight Fade from our shameful, broken dreams And hide away from tomorrow's sight Because nothing is what it seems Down the road, we will want a restart With a new dream and a new heart Why do we look at our past and have grief On wrongdoings and actions that were brief We will try to mend our victim's pain When we realize our stupid mistakes From our ways, we have received no gain But an empty joy that always breaks We try to have them get up once more Hoping they will forgive and forget And that their hopes and dreams restore Ceasing actions we will soon regret Even though we have our own disbelief That forgiveness will be our yearned relief
