Why

 

The ones I love never stick around 

The ones who love me, I leave in lost and found

 

We always want what we can't get

Like a toddler throwing a little tantrum fit 

 

I'm not sure why love don't break even

But I was always giving way more than receiving

 

I'm old enough now to be able to see

That love just ain't in the cards for me 

 

I'm sure there are others who suffer the same 

Because we are categorized by certain names

 

Independent, character, rebel to list a few

But all wrong for me, if you really knew

 

I'm broken, unlucky, with too much baggage to claim 

But keep your labels all the same

 

They won't change my destiny or my fate

They won't find or return to me my soul mate

 

I guess not everyone gets happily ever after

In my fairy tale, God skipped that chapter

 

It's too bad though because I would have loved hard

With no games, no shame, no barrier, no guard 

 

I would have been ride or die with too much romance

But sadly we don't all get to have that chance

 

I wish I would have been told or at least would have known

That I would end up doing life all alone on my own

 

I would have focused more on a certain career 

But even that time has passed I sadly fear

 

So I'm left with unanswerable questions to ask

That I'll never get a response to, I'll never unmask

 

Like why did love have to evade me

It's a little hard to swallow you'd have to agree

 

My Dad always told me to get use to it because life ain't fair

But I would have thought God would have answered this prayer

 

I don't want to grow old and end up alone

I'm not strong enough God to be on my own

 

I was so full of love but no one would stay 

So I'll end my life like i ended my day

 

Alone, too early, and a bit too quietly 

Wishing that someone would have chosen me
