Hard answers

Why do we hurt
the ones that we love
those who are there
when push comes to shove

is there something inside
which makes it ok
but harder to bear with each passing day

it feels good at first
like something Divine
but how do we do it
with all of the signs

a tear in the eyes
and a feeling of sorrow
at least we can say
that we're sorry tomorrow

but what if by chance
that day never came
and you had to live life
with that feeling of shame

could you look in the mirror
too heal all the pain
knowing their gone
would it drive you insane

the question I ask
isn't hard to conceive
when love is the light
that helps you believe

the change only comes
from you looking within
all your lessons you learn
come from places you've been

so why do we hurt
the ones that we love
the ones that are there
when a push turns to shove

could you look in the mirror
too hide how you feel
if you just watch your mouth
then there's no need to heal
