What Makes You Tick

What makes you tick?
What makes you happy, what makes you blue?
How do you tell someone that you love them
Is your love always true?

These questions, I thought I knew their answers
These riddles, I thought could be solved by me
But you have hidden yourself from my gaze
You have taken your hand from mine, and put your heart in ice

You have decided that you would be better off without me
For no apparent reason, other than a distance that could be travelled in less than a day
If we were in the same surroundings, no doubts would be sounded
If we were together right now, our hearts would be linked forever

When did I stop making you happy?
When did you stop worrying about how I felt?
When did it not bother you to crush my heart with one step
To see the pain in my eyes, and just look in the other direction

It seems so easy to hurt me
To dismiss the fact that my pain is endless
to shut out your heart's pleas
this isn't strength, its stupid, useless, weak

Be true to what you heart song wants to play
Follow your dreams, knowing that I was once in them
For only a short time, we are to be a part
I pray that that will be the case

So what makes you happy, for I will do it
You aren't happy anymore, despite what you may say
I can read it in your eyes, in your heart
Don't hide from me, it only makes our situation more painful, worse.
