Tears are falling down my face
I know you will never find your place
You will just have to wait for your time
Cause I am sick of this nursery rhyme
But before you go
I just want to know
Tell me why
Why do you make me feel bad?
Do you enjoy suffering?
Knowing you missed out on so much
Every tear and every touch
Just tell me why
Are you happy with your life?
That you know you ruined your wife?
I may just be a child
But I know too much to just look at you and smile
Every time I look at you my heart goes black
So do something right
And let go of the fight.
