why do some things happen
why does love hurt

i want to know the reason
i want to know why
i've been thinking 
and thinking
and thinking
the only conclusion
concludes that
i just bit my lip
i just spilled my milk
i just created a mountain
i just breathed

some things will never happen
some things take forever
some things are unsaid

but

the important will be left a secret
