Why Can't I See It


You’re beautiful

Inside and out.

Why can’t you see it?

 

I stare at your eyes

Mesmerized by their beauty

Why can’t you see it?

 

You are nothing but trouble

Oh so addicting

Why can’t I see it?

 

You are not good for me

Not what I need

Why can’t I see it?

 

You are like a rollercoaster

Love me, you hate me,

Why can’t you see it?

 

I deserve better,

You won’t treat me right.

But Why can’t I see it?

 

Its been four years

And you are still in my head.

Why can’t you see it?

 

You treat me like shit.

But I love you more than the world.

Why can’t you see it?

 

I need to move on.

I need to let you go

But why can’t I see it?
