HOW COME
How come it's always my fault
Because it always comes out of my mouth?
How come I'm always at a loss
Because I speak my feelings aloud?

How come I always feel unloved
And uncared for when I'm around here?
How come I can't ever say, "Enough's enough!"
Because losing you is something I fear!?

How come my best is never good enough
When you depend on me to come through?
How come I've lost the trust
That long ago I built with you?

How come you always know
Where to get me to make me blue?
How come sometimes I wanna say, "Bye!" and go
But after everything, I still don't wanna leave you?!
