Why Can’t You See

You make me smile

I make you cry

You tell me you love me

I only ask you why

You make me happy

I make you mad

You always forgive me

but still I’m bad

You give yourself freely

I’m always taking

You’re always true

but I’m always faking

Why can’t you see

you deserve better than this

not this game I play

but true love and eternal bliss

Why are you so perfect

and I’m such a heel

you full of love and life

and me barely able to feel

How can you love

a nobody like me

when all I have to offer

is a heart too broken to be free

So show me a better way

to help me stay and fight

teach this fool how to love you

and finally get it right

Because without you I’m nothing

just another shadowless soul

Another wandering victim

to add to love's death toll
