Why? Why, why, why?

Why did I fall for you?

Why did I let you in, knowing what would happen?

It doesn't make sense, even now.

Standing back from it all, I can see the patterns.

How you helped me...

How you changed me...

How you saved me...

And through it all, how we made each other stronger.

Don't do it, they said. He'll only hurt you.

I didn't believe them. I didn't want to.

For a while, things were great.

I convinced myself and everyone around they were wrong.

He's different now, I would say. He's changed.

They would just look at me sadly.

I heard the whispers.

She's going to be heartbroken.

She doesn't realise how hard it will be.

She's made the same mistake as others.

I ignored them.

I knew you, and I trusted you

With my life.

I knew you would never hurt me.

Not intentionally.

But things became tense, and we drifted apart.

Cracks began to form, and I felt you slipping away.

It hurt me, every day

The pain followed me everywhere

But I couldn't do anything about it

I struggled to communicate how I felt

My love and gratitude just didn't show through

And now I fear I've ruined it

Everything that we had

And I can't tell you enough

Just how sorry I am

And how much I wish

That I could fix this

But now, all I can think about is why

Why did it get to this stage?

Why couldn't I have been more open with you?

Why... why couldn't I have been enough, to be exactly what you deserved?

I guess I'll never know.

And I guess you'll never know

How sorry I am.
