Why does he keep me hostage
If he doesn’t even want me?
Why does he make me suffer
If he doesn’t care how I feel?
Why did he burn my heart
But I cannot even touch his?
Why do I love him, pray,
Someone tell me, please!
Why does he punish me so-
When was love a crime?
If I have done something wrong
Then let me make it right
Why do I love and suffer-
Is all of it in vain?
Why must I keep on loving him
Who can’t recall my name...
