I ask you why you took away the stars so true
A child will say can I have
I ask, You thought I wanted a slave
A child wants your love
I ask why you would throw me a away like a dove
A child wills you to love them unconditionally
I ask you why you look at me so analytically
A child asks for understanding and guidance
I ask you why there is no more romance
A child asks you for a glass of water
I ask you why you think you can never falter
A child asks for a bike or toy
I ask you why I no longer seem to bring you joy
A child asks for you to come out and play
And I ask why you stay
A child asks may I stay up later
I ask you why you treat me like a traitor
A child will ask you how much do you love me
I ask do you love me
