»why?«
why is when i'm filled with confusion
why is when i'm clueless of reason to your actions
but this "why" is all I have lately
why give me the ability to fly
when you won't let me spread my wings
and sore like a bird into new ventures
why give me the ability to think
when you don't like what I think of you or the world that we live in
why give me the ability to reason
when you don't like my reasoning with you, as I am right and you are wrong
why give me the ability to decide
when you become angry at me
when I make my own life's decisions
why give me the ability to love
but every girl I ever loved, you told me was not good enough for me
why the ability to speak
because when I speak my mind
you tell me i'm in no position to speak such words
all my life I have thought, reasoned, decided, loved and spoke my mind
but there is not a single moment you were ever proud of me...
well ask yourself this question:
why did you offer me free will..?
why is when i'm clueless of reason to your actions
but this "why" is all I have lately
why give me the ability to fly
when you won't let me spread my wings
and sore like a bird into new ventures
why give me the ability to think
when you don't like what I think of you or the world that we live in
why give me the ability to reason
when you don't like my reasoning with you, as I am right and you are wrong
why give me the ability to decide
when you become angry at me
when I make my own life's decisions
why give me the ability to love
