WHY!?

by Nina Mendoza   Aug 29, 2007


Why do you make promises
that you don't keep?
Why do you always let me down
knowing that it makes me weep?

Why are you on drugs
and why are you always in jail?
Why whenever i need you
you always bail?

Why don't you care
that i really miss you?
Why do you tell me things
that are so far from true?

Why is it so hard
to spend one day with me?
Why are you always running
and hiding from me?

Why cant you stay out of jail
and clean up your act?
Why don't you understand
that i just want you back?

Why don't you take time
to sit and talk with me?
Why cant you realize
how sad you made me?

Why was it so easy
to give me up at birth?
Why is it so hard
to put me first?

Why do you need drugs
more than you need me?
Why am i always the last
person you ever come to see?

Why don't you want me
and why don't you care?
Why is it so easy
to never be there?

Why do you say
that you love me so?
Why don't you do something
to make it show?

Why did you have me
if you were just going to give me up?
Why wont you understand
that "I Love You" just isn't enough?

I asked there questions
to find out, why?
These questions haunt me every night
and cause me to cry.

So please give me an answer
thats not a lie.
All I'm asking for
is a reason why.
