I Don't Know Why I Feel This Way















SultryRose's Signatures





I don't know why I feel this way,
I have no reason to be afraid.
I don't know why this has hit me
So hard....but it has.

No, I'm not lonely or alone,
No, I'm not heartbroken.
I just don't know why I feel this way,
Why this depression has followed me home.

I feel like crying but I fight back the tears,
I feel like my life is a re-run of sorrow and pain.
I know that in the life that I'm living now....
That I'm happy, that I'm happy.

I thought I've let the past go but
It seems like it's still sticking around.
Maybe, there's something I can't control
And oh maybe there's something I can't let go.

I don't know why I feel this way,
Why come it's bothering me now?
I wished I could make it disappear
But I know there's nothing I can do.

I'm living in regret about something
That happened maybe a year or two ago.
Said I'd never let it get the best of me,
Said I'd never let it get me down.

Life is hard and yes, it's tough,
No one said that it would be easy.
I've heard of a saying that someone
Once said, that you must see with your own eyes.

So, I guess that I have and now I've seen
The pain it's caused to me and to him.
It wasn't my fault, he done it to himself
And still I don't know why I feel this way.

Depression, Stress, and Tension has
Drug me way down tonight.
I'm happy with the man I'm with
And I'll be happy forever beyond our years.

It's time I take a stand and let
This regret know just how I feel.
I'm a let it know that it's time
For it to leave me alone.

I'm HAPPY now with the life I'm living,
Happy to be with the man of my dreams.
Happy to tell the whole wide world that
He is the one and the only one for me.

Tonight, I'm over all of this,
Tonight, I'm free, I'm me,
Yeah, tonight, I'm happy
And now I know why I feel this way.
