Why can I make them smile?
I wish they wouldn’t
Why can’t I just say what I want to?
Maybe if I could they would stop saying:
“I can’t understand you”
Why can’t I just be me?
Maybe if I could they would stop saying:
“You’re a mystery”
Why can’t I just revel in happiness and not despise
Maybe if I could they would stop saying:
“It’s in your eyes”
Why can’t I stop sinning?
But if I did-
Would it still feel as if I were winning?
Why can’t I make you smile?
I wish you would.
