How Come?

by Kevin Sinclair

How come I feel that you don’t care
How come I know you don’t want me there
Lost and listening for the words
But they can’t be heard now
Somewhere along the way
Pain was the price to pay.

How come things have changed
How come all the feelings have rearranged
Your caring touch is gone
And I still long for it
But that won’t stop me
Just you wait and see.

Which way should I choose
I could sit and play the blues
Or I could continue on
Knowing that I am strong
Always ready to be there
Should you need me
I will always care for you
My words are true.

How come the lights went out
How come you look at me with doubt
What did I say
What did I do
Was it my fault you walked away
Leaving me alone today?

How come my heart aches
How come I need to be with you
Why does my heart break
When you ignore me now
Guess I’ll just have to show
Through actions my words are true.

I could say I love you
I could say that I care
Instead I’ll be here waiting
For when you need me there
Some songs must be sung solo
Looks like this is one of them
Remember, I will always care
My words are true.

How come all these questions
How come there are no answers
Broken hearts and slow dances
Tears that fall down my cheeks
Looks like I’ll take my chances
Looking for the love I seek.

How come our friendship died
How come we never gave it another try
Was that too much to ask
But I’m going to stop the questions
And I’m not looking for suggestions
Just don’t want to be lonely tonight.
