Why

I wish I knew the reasons why,
Each time I felt I had to cry.
As life continues and passes me by,
I take a deep breath and exhale a sigh.

I wish I had known when love would end,
No longer my partner, no longer a friend.
A world filled with silence and ghosts from the past,
Finishing first is still finishing last.

I wish I knew the reasons why,
Each time I felt I had to cry.
As life continues and passes me by,
One last breath, one last sigh.

Darker the tunnel the light draws away,
I hide in the shadows till the final day.
I thought I could do it, I thought I could win,
Look back on my life and see where I've been.

Sometimes I wonder and breathe out a sigh,
Othertimes I breathe, and wonder why...
