Can I ask you how you feel? After all that I put you through these past months Calling you up every night in tears Can I ask you why you've stayed around? Held my hand as I went to the cops Went through therapy every month Can I ask you how you could hold on? When I was screaming for you to let go of me Get out of the screwed up life that mine had become Can I ask you how you felt when you saw me? In tears, falling into your arms when I had collapsed Telling myself that I give up Can I ask you why you helped me? Why you told me to not quit And to fight the nightmares, the flashes, the tears Can I ask you how you felt when you saw him there at the prom? And you couldn't do anything but stare him down Asking in your mind how he could hurt a girl so much Can I ask you how you felt when you realised you couldn't get him back for hurting me? How you kept from hitting him right then and there How you kept your level of sanity Can I ask you why you stood by to help me? After everyone else walked away After everyone else gave up And can I ask you how? How did you suceed in making me so incredibly happy? How did you get me to love my life so much and give up on commiting suicide? How did you fall in love with me?
