I Don't Know Why
I don't know why I do this to myself
I know that we will never happen
Or I at least have my many doubts
I don't know why I reach so far
And only get so little
I try to ignore the feeling
I don't know why I like you
I don't know why I get butterflies when I see you
I don't know why I keep pushing myself
I don't know why the sky is blue either
I don't know why they say the sky is the limit
When there are footprints on the moon
But why aren't mine there?
Why can't I touch the stars above and reach
Reach high above the sky
That's where I'll find you
Up, away and beyond
Reaching, hoping, wishing I could grasp hold of you
I don't know why I try my best to be someone I know I'll never be
You don't want me
And never will
This, I don't know why
