Why Me

Why me?

With hands in hands, we walked along,
Together while singing that beautiful song

Which described life, described us
Described our relation but alas,

We couldn’t get together, couldn’t get along
Though we had known each other for a period too long

My fault it was, she exclaimed,
I was the one, who was to be blamed,

Why not her, why always me
What did I lack, what couldn’t she see?

But the doubts created, the change in behavior
Lost a friend, whom I thought was mine forever

Those lonely nights, those empty days
Those Saturday nights, oh man what can I say

You literally tore me apart,
Breaking me into a million pieces,

Why didn’t I judge you before?
Like a man with million faces

What could I have said, what could I have done,
Why did I lose, when I thought I had won?
