Because, Why?

Why do I still close my eyes

When my surroundings are so sublime?

Because I’d love to open them

And feel you next to me one last time

 

Why did I put you on a pedestal

When I knew our paths were not aligned?

Because so tempting is the delusion

Where at conflict is my heart and mind

 

Why do I still remember how great it was

To lay my head on your chest?

Because you made it so easy to be myself;

Your voice put my worries to rest

 

Why do I choose to focus on the negatives,

How your new girl makes my stomach go awry?

Because I’m still a teenage girl damn it,

And heartbreak sucks, that’s why
