water

i'm trying to see you, but some kind of water is leaking out my eyes
i wonder why
things are getting blurry, and it's making everything seem twice it's size
i wonder why
it's messing up my camoflage and making a disgrace of my disguise
i wonder why
i guess i really shouldn't look
i can't compete 
i wish i could
i wish i had
i wish i had more time
it's no surprise
i wonder why
i'm not the brando type
i don't dig the anger
or the forced replies
i wonder why
i want you, but don't want to own you
i love you too much to try to change your mind
i wonder why
after all is said and done
i'll still be here
and still alone
it's funny just how good it feels to cry
i wonder why
