Why


Why 

Why am I here 

Why aren't you near 

Where did I come from 

When did things get this way

Why don't I have somewhere 

for my head to lay

When will it get better 

Why aren't we together 

Why aren't these questions being answered 

No I'm not happy

No this isn't something sappy

I want you to feel where I come from 

What did you do

Why are these things true 

Why aren't we a family 

Why did you hurt me 

Have me taken away 

Just throw dirt on me

Do you not love your own 

Can't you see I'm alone 

I swear I'll always love you 

Why did you come here

No I'm not happy 

But seeing you makes it worst 

Why don't I belong 

Why can't I be home with you

You promised to get better 

You promised this never 

I swear I don't hate you 

But why 

All I ask is 

Why
