Questions From the Heart



Why do you make me feel this way?
Why do you leave me every day?
What can I do to make things right?
What can I do to bring back the light?

How long will the silence remain?
How long will I have to stand in the rain?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go to feel near?

Whose fault is this pain I feel?
Whose heart has become unreal?
When will we become strong once more?
When will our love come open the door?

Is there anything that I can do,
To prove that I truly care about you?
Is there anything that I can say,
To prove that I don't want to feel this way?

Our love used to be so strong,
Where did it go so wrong?
We used to be so very happy,
How did it become so very crappy?

Who can answer all my questions?
Who can give me great suggestions?
With only shadows on my wall,
The silence makes my heart fall.
