POTM (Prose of The Moment)

S e a r c h i n g

Chorus:
Why do we always fall into the darkness of pain?
Why do we always get burnt by the flames of despair?
Why do we continue to want to live life when it's all one big irony?
Just one never-ending satirical comedy.

Why do I think of you when it hurts me?
Why do I want you when you don't want me?
How can life go on and on like this?
When all I want to happen is the end.

Chorus:
Why do we always fall into the darkness of pain?
Why do we always get burnt by the flames of despair?
Why do we continue to want to live life when it's all one big irony?
Just one never-ending satirical comedy.

I want to forget you and your pretty face
You threw away the times we spent together
But they meant everything to me
Now I'm lost and searching for myself.
Looking for the pieces of me that I know you have.

Chorus:
Why do we always fall into the darkness of pain?
Why do we always get burnt by the flames of despair?
Why do we continue to want to live life when it's all one big irony?
Just one never-ending satirical comedy.

Isn't it ironic how you can love me one moment
And hate me the next?
To want to be with me today
And leave me tomorrow?
Why can't this pain leave me?
Why do I have to continue being lost?
Why do I have to continue looking for the pieces of me that are with you?

Chorus:
Why do we always fall into the darkness of pain?
Why do we always get burnt by the flames of despair?
Why do we continue to want to live life when it's all one big irony?
Just one never-ending satirical comedy.
I know why I need to continue life…
I need to look for the pieces of me that are with you and I won't stop
I can't stop
Until I get over you…
