Why

Do you have to start crying
To know that the reason
I have always been around
Is I love you?

Do you have to run for cover
Whenever something new
Threatens to uncover
What's inside?

We were always meant to be together
No matter how we try to stay apart
When the storm comes or the walls fall down around us
We'll face them hand in hand and heart to heart

Do you have to test my spirit
Everytime you are afraid
Of all the things you
Struggle to control?

Do you desire to be peaceful
Whenever the worries
That surround you seem
So familiar or old?
