Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why do you break me?
What terrible crime have I committed to deserve such murder?
I tried to breathe for you but you still insist on brining pain
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why are we so false?
I have tried so hard to make this unrequited romance enough for the both of us.
Yet still my efforts fall on empty hearts, still I hear slurred elegance
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why won’t you dance with me?
All I ever wanted was to tie away my misery and throw away my days with you
How I sob for your face when you turn me away with the malice wave
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why won’t you remember my name?
I know your every walk, your every memory, every girl you ever kissed and longed for
Is it so wrong for you to possibly return the favour?
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why can’t you hear me?
I’ll admit, sometimes I’m a little selfish, I know sometimes you’re a little used
But this time I’ll be listening
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why does your presence haunt me?
Sometimes in the dead of night, I can still hear your heart beating in my ear
And still it makes me shiver
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why is it that I just can’t break free?
Although my soul longs for departure from this hurt, I never back away
I still shine brightly in your corner
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why do you always rain on me?
I never succeed but I try to be loving and caring for you
You just never react the way I want you too
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why am I scared that you’ll let this go?
I can fully understand that none of this means anything to you
I can hope but it’ll be worthless, as always
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why do you slaughter me?
You tease and taunt and flaunt and I don’t know how much more I’ll be able to take
How much longer before you kill me?
Oh Franklin

Oh Franklin
Why do I still love you?
You do nothing but hurt me, you let me down, and you make me cry so many times
You’re wrong but you’re mine
Oh Franklin
