Tell Me Why?

Tell me why you hate me?

I’d really like to know

What was it I did to you

That makes you treat me so?

Tell me why, I’m begging 

Please help me understand

‘Cause looking for the answer

Is like trying to swim through sand

Tell me what I’ve done now

That causes you such pain

That you keep trying to take from me

That love that keeps me sane 

My heart and lover tell me

That it’s not me, it’s you

That being this way, doing that,

Is just “you doing you”

But I hate to believe them;

How could it be so??

How could you be capable...

You, whom I used to know...

Maybe I didn’t know you

Maybe I didn’t see...

Or maybe I ignored it when

You showed yourself to me

Yes, maybe that’s the answer...

I ponder with a sigh

But if it’s not, I’m begging you

Please, just tell me why...
