Why Do We Do This

Why do I do this?
Why do I try?
All you ever do
is make me cry.

I just want to love you
and you love be back.
Why now does it seem
it's me you attack.

I told you I loved you,
you said you loved me to.
So why now are we fighting?
with words like we do.

I care for you more
than you'll ever know.
Can't you feel this love
I'm trying to show?

I guess for some reason
I don't understand.
We'll never get along
because of what you demand.

I can't be there for you
every minute of your day.
I love you so much
but I have to stay away.

Why do we do this?
I have to know.
Why all this fighting?
That makes my temper show.
