Engage

Why do I feel like this?
I’m feeling very sad
Like I’m losing a love
That I never really had

But why do it hurts
If I never even seen her
Why do I grieve? 
And make my heart suffer

I search my soul 
But got no results so far
So the only thing I can say
Is I really love her

Why do I feel so empty?
If I never seen her smile
 Every time she said hi
I get so lost for a while

Why do I want to cry?
But pretend to be strong
And continue to love her
When I know it’s wrong

Tonight I look to the stars
But got no answers from above
So the only thing I can say
Is that I’m really in love

But she got engage
Before I open my heart
My love story ended
Before it ever start

But that is how life works
It will have ups and downs
Some will be presidents 
 Some will be clowns

Some will be winners
And some will lose
 Some will end up like me
Just singing the blues

Maybe I will live alone
Guess it’s for the best
I’m getting so tired
Of failing all the test

So will take my broken heart
And just walk away
And try to get it mend
To try love another day
