They've asked me why I wouldn't die
Scathed within a wry...
They've asked me.
They've asked me why I wouldn't die
in a grave, within a sigh...
They've asked me.
They've asked me
who am I to be
a man without a sky
and still a man who keeps on goin' on...
They've asked me
who am I to see
through the darkness that I lie
that there's somehow still a reason to carry on...
They've asked me
and I say within a cave
In a tunnel I'm a slave
to me and all my heart has ever desired
I say within a cave
The only one I'll save
is my heart that would beat if it weren't so tired
I tell you that I go
through the darkness that I know
because you might be the light at the end that's shining
even if I see
there's no light in front of me
Even if there might never be a silver lining...
They've asked me
why I've never feared
the seclusion of the dark
when all I want to be is in the light with you...
They've asked me
why I've never feared
the breaking of a heart
that's truly only desired the love of only you...
They've asked me
why I never answer
with a cry of why my dreams
are never actually ever coming true...
They've asked me
and I've answered in a way
that they could never say
that I'm just another defeated lover
And I've answered in a way
that they could never say
that I'm a man who truly doesn't love her...
They've asked me
why it is I try
and have never given in
even though I've always been
on the outside looking in...
They've asked me
and I've answered in way
that they know in any day
that we're bound to be together...
They've asked me
as I'm walking through a dark
and lonely, little heart
I'll continue walking
even if this darkness is forever...
They've asked me
and I say... because of you
