Why Do We Even Live?

Now, tell me
Why do we love
When at the end, all it brings is heartbreak
And pain more than the happiness it brought?

Now, tell me
Why do we trust
Only to be betrayed
And find out we were only being fooled?

Now, tell me
Why do we sacrifice a lot
Only to be forgotten
And not being appreciated?

Now, tell me
Why do we give our all
And do our best
Only for us to fail at the end of the day?

Now, tell me
Why do we still care
Why do we still love
Why do we still want to be together
But just can't forget about the past?

Now, tell me
Why do we live with hatred in us
And not with the love that defines us
Even when we know tomorrow isn't promised?

Now, tell me
Why do we even live??
