why is it that
when we say were numb
we can feel nothing but the heartbreak
why is it that
it is so easy to be hateful and mean it
but so hard to express our love
why is it that
for one you may be good enough
but not so much for the other
why is it that
the pain can linger on inside
while the happiness fades away
why is it that
I feel empty
when I had nothing to begin with

it hurts that while I was falling in love
you were falling out
it confuses me that you moved into something new
without being over the old
