Can someone please explain,
What the word love means,
Whenever I have it figured,
It's never as it seems,
Can someone please explain,
How I ended up like this,
I'm looking over my shoulder,
Wondering what I missed,

Can someone please explain,
The defintion of heartache,
A heart that hasn't loved,
Is a heart that cannot break,
Can someone please explain,
Why I can't see what's real,
Sifting through emotions,
To choose the ones I feel,

I'm going insane without knowledge,
Of how this pain even came to be,
My life became unrecognisable,
It slowly transformed me,
There wasn't a distinctive moment,
Where everything went wrong,
But still I should have known,
Should have seen it all along,

Can someone please explain,
How I ended up this way,
With crimson every night,
Showing the price I pay,
Can someone please explain,
The day that my smile fell,
When I had to start lying,
When I said I was well,

Can someone please explain,
How everything got so deep,
How energy faded,
With inability to sleep,
Can someone please explain,
How I failed to see,
Tell me all the reasons,
Why these words came to be.
