Why us?

Don't you wish they loved you?

The question that started it all
The one that made tears fall
The one that ripped you to shreds
While I tried desperately to hold on

The one that let us fall apart
The one that ripped right through my heart
The one that left us alone and weak
The one that left us sitting in the dark

Do you honestly think it's fair
For such unsuspecting people
To be put up to a test
That we aren't prepared for?

Do you think that this is what took us away?
Do you honestly think this is the reason?
This one simple question?
Do you think that was it?

Could you possibly give me on good reason
Why it chose us?
Why fate decided
That it was our turn to suffer?

Now just try to breathe
Because I'm sure it will be over soon
The time is ticking slowly
If only it ticked faster

Just try to keep your breathing steady
And think of nothing but us
And where we will be after this is over
And how wonderful it will be

We will always be joyous
And we will always dance and sing
And no one can tell us what to do
Not even fate
