Why?

With all the fighting
And all the hurting
I always thought we'd make it through
We can live together why can't you?

There's nothing like realizing one day
That it's over, the pain won't go away
When it's all said and done
The only thing to do is let the blood run

You want us to be better
You think that without you we'd be happier
Can't you see it's not working?
You leaving isn't helping

But I'll continue to smile like nothing is wrong
I'll still pretend to be strong
You'll never know exactly what's going on
Either way you'd still be gone

You want a father/daughter relationship
It's a little late for that isn't it
the tears I cry are for an answer to a simple question
Why?
