*Why Do You Do This to Me?

You and I never got along.

Yet we were together so long.

How did we make it through?

'Cause I said I love you too?

We could be nice.

Other times you felt like a vice.

Well, I finally said good-bye.

Then why do I feel like I'm living a lie?

I tell myself I'm okay

But only when you're away.

When you're near

My broken heart I fear/

I'm enjoying my new life

Without your added strife.

Why do you do this to me?

Make me want to stay and not flee.

Then we get into a fight

It reminds me I was right.

I ended the pain

And the hurt is starting to wane.

Someday soon perhaps I'll be strong

Just don't make me think again I was wrong.

We may get along well

But remember what makes us yell.

I'm happy where I am now.

All you can say is "wow"

You've lost me.

I'm running free
