every hour, every day
isn't nature denied?
in a world where it rains
you're the sun in the sky
but i can't bear to see you
'cos i can't bear the pain
and i can't heal the wounds
'cos i still can't explain
why i feel like an alien
not part of the human race
when my heart wants to burst
at the sight of your face
i feel like i'm suffering
from a beautiful disease
when your sad pretty smile
brings me down to my knees
such a simple thing
it should be such a simple thing
you can call me confused
all that i can confess
is i can't come to terms
settle for something less
will i feel this emotion
till the day that i die?
and go to my grave
still wondering why
