Tell Me Why

Tell me why does the world make sense

Each time you smile at something I said

Days when nothing seems to go my way

Tell me why you still make it a better day

Tell me why life isn’t worth all the torture

But you make me want to live some more

My future seems blurrier than it ever was

Yet I can still see you beside me there too

Tell me why you make me happy so easily

I have never known anything but darkness

I have been broken for so many years now

But your smile feels like it could repair me

Tell me why your words calm me down easy

Even when the world overwhelms me badly

You make me wanna believe all good things

As if I also deserve to be adored by someone

Tell me why I still remember all our memories

Even though you have walked away from this

A part of me hopes we can make it to the end

Even when I know forever is just a beautiful lie

Tell me why you make me fall in love so easily

My heart has been broken many times before

One look at you is all I need to lose my reasons

That’s all I need to believe all white lies you tell

Tell me why I see you and know you are the one

As if you are the one I am born to love in this life
