Why do I Stay?

He's not a bad influence He's a hero I'd amount to be zero All my life I've been dragging my feet Looking for the sun at night Living in spite But one day he walked in Showed me the shine from the moon, Made my heart sing a new tune He made me happy But the problem is the prison I'm in A prison that I'm chained within He tries to free me But my prison has intoxicated my mind I stay willingly, even though I'm confined Everyday is emotional Everyday I cry He always asks me why Why? I just don't know I tell him I can't leave He says all I do is grieve He just wants to make me happy But I turn him away And I sit in my cell all day Sometimes there's no explanation The answer is "just because" That's just what sadness does Sadness never wants to be happy A person gets used to the feeling And what's strange is a new feeling... healing It's easier, I guess, to take the route you always take
