WHY

Why do you leave the light on?

What are you so afraid of?

Why can’t you ever sleep the whole night?

What did they do to you?

When you do sleep, I try to stay awake so to understand your dreams...

A word…A hand up to defend…A whimper of pure sadness…

Baby I can’t defeat what I do not know…

How can I be your hero?

What I can’t see to fight…

Remember when I saw you wiping tears away at the diner?

I fell in love with a wounded heart…

I was your cowboy that you would ride away with…

We have never left…and your pillow is still damp…

I’ll simply be the one that holds you when the memories come...

That's fine. Just let me know if I hold you too tight…For I do not sense it...I am trying to save you…

For I will never let you go, and they will never win again…

I just wish I knew why.
