"Why"

 

Why did you do this to me?

I didn't ask for this treatment.

Why did you do this to me?

What did I do to you?

 

I sit and wish,

Everything could be the same.

I sit and pray,

That you'd leave me alone.

 

I love you so,

But I hate you more.

I want you near me,

But I need you far away.

 

Why did you do this to me?

I didn't ask for this treatment.

Why did you do this to me?

I didn't do it to you.

 

You turn things around on me,

You use project blaming.

Everything you do,

Gets blamed on me by you.

 

I was never mean to you,

I was never going behind your back,

I never lied without confessing,

I gave you my heart.

 

I wanted your heart,

But you wouldn't hand it over.

Instead you said mean things,

That hurt me inside.

 

Why did you do this to me?

I didn't ask for this treatment.

Why didn't I let you go?

Why didn't I listen to myself?

 

Now I'm sitting here,

Glad that you're gone.

Inside I'm crying,

That it had to end.

 

People said I deserved better,

But you were all I wanted.

People told me you were a jerk,

But I thought that you weren't.

 

Why did you do this to me?

I didn't ask for this treatment.

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you have to be a jerk?
