Why Is Life This Way - Version One


Why Is Life This Way


 

In this world

Why is it sometimes

Love is about pain

Life about regrets

Family about hurt

Relationships about baggage

Strangers about kindness

And loneliness in this world



 

All alone in this world

Trying to make life meaningful

Once again thinking to myself

Why is it that

Things I had always held sacred

Turned out to be

My life’s ugliest truth

People that were supposed to

Stand by you

Turned out to be my biggest lie

This empty feeling you feel inside

Trying to make sense

Why things happen this way

Desperately trying to

Leave the hurt behind

To make life work in a world  

Where life has a mind of it’s own

No matter how much you try

Why is it that it still get’s you

As life’s unthinkable hurt



 

In this world

Why is it sometimes

Love is about pain

Life about regrets

Family about hurt

Relationships about baggage

Strangers about kindness

And loneliness in this world
