The Question Is How

I was blind

Blinded by an innocence that vanished

Along with you

I won't deny

Your actions wounded me

When you were through with me

I couldn't accept the truth

Feel the salt sting in my open hands

The burn reminds me what I can withstand

And I can handle your backhand

Though

I've just got to know

How did this happen to me

I wanted to believe every word you said

But I'll just let it be

I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead

So the lesson I've learned

Who do we really know

No one let's the truth be shown

We find out the hard way

You think a person's changed

But people don't change

They're always the same

You never know all along

They were that way

Though my disappointment shows I only wanna know

How did this happen to me

I wanted to believe every word you said

But I'll just let it be

I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead

You may already be dead

I needed you

I needed you there

I needed you

You weren't there

How did this happen to me

I wanted to believe every word you said

But I'll just let it be

I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead

How did this happen to me

I wanted to believe every word you said

But I'll just let it be

I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead

You may already be dead

But I have the right to know
