Why Was I Born? Lyrics
Why was I born
Why am I livin'
What do I get
What am I givin'
Why do I want for things
I dare not hope for
What can I hope for
I wish I knew
Why do I try
To draw you near me
Why do I cry
You never hear me
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do
Oh baby why was I born
To love you
Why am I livin'
What do I get
What am I givin'
Why do I want for things
I dare not hope for
What can I hope for
I wish I knew
Why do I try
To draw you near me
Why do I cry
You never hear me
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do
Oh baby why was I born
To love you

I think this is so simple, but so sad. ''Why do I want for things, I dare not hope for'' ''why do I try to draw you near me''. The feeling of yearning for someone, but wanting to protect yourself from rejection, and half not careing at all, and just wanting to suffer in loving them.
Ahhh makes me cry! lol
This song is very simple but holds a tremendous amount of meaning to me. I know what it's like to love and give everything of you to someone for them to just not care anymore, or sometimes ever. You know you should give up, but you feel that it's worth fighting for and you just keep hurting yourself again and again.
