I have a question
by Chad Reed

Why do we do the things we do

With all the things we know

Why do we claim we’re lost in life

When we know where to go

Why do we choose a straight lined path

Then vary from its course

Why do we marry deep in love

And end it in divorce

Why should I put in extra effort

Or go that extra mile…

Why do we soak in all the pain

To where we never smile

And why on earth, while being hurt

Do we stay ‘til the end

And swear each time it happens that

We’ll never love again

I feel like I should be alone

With all these questions asked

I’m facing an uncertain future

Dragged down by my past

Why do my fears and tragedies

Cause me to go insane?

Why don’t they just get washed away

Within a cleansing rain

Why do we find that it’s so hard

To pick up and move on

It’s like you don’t know what you have

‘Til it’s already gone…

Why do we fall in love again

Or so that’s what we claim

And why do we clutch to our fears

Will this one end the same?

Do we read it from magazines?

Is it society?

Maybe I just want someone

To be wild in love with me…

Why do we say, “…there’s someone out there,

Just for me and you…”

It that the problem? Cause it’s

Everybody’s point of view?

I’ve been on this stage many times

In fact, 3 times before…

But I’m hoping I’ll get back on

And stop at number 4

But though I can’t escape the old

Cannot predict what’s new

I can find someone to love again

Could this person be you?
