Why?

Why don't you cry?

Why do you lie?

Why do you smile?

Do you think we're senile?

do you think we don't see the pain?

There's everything to lose and nothing to gain

Why do you play these painful games?

My trying to make sense of this is driving me insane.

I don't know who to blame.

Is it you, me them?

It's a damn shame

that even though it hurts we still do the same thingIt's like a damned drain

in silence

her contempt is my badge

Knowing

because I cheated.
