Since You’re Asking Why

### [Intro] I remember going to class and feeling the weight of depression all day / Then you'd walk in and smile real big, and on the outside, all those things would fade away / And every minute with you, it would start to seep through, and before long, the darkness was cleansed on the inside too / ### [Verse 1] Years went by, and we lost touch, but I'd still think of your warm presence from time to time / So when I finally got the chance to see you again, it wasn't much surprise I fell fast and then / All the peace I remember getting for just a moment turned to something more permanent / And yet you ask me why... So let me tell you / ### [Chorus] When I see you, my eyes light up and yours do too / My self-doubt dies, confidence exudes / I feel good enough to laugh all day and night / And safe enough to lower my guard and cry / And if you need a few more reasons why... / Every time we embrace, my heart starts to race / When I make a mistake, you're quick to give grace / I can speak my mind, and it's not for naught / And you'll return it back with your honest thoughts / So if you want to know why, this is just the start / You give peace to my body, mind, and heart / ### [Verse 2] We shared stories of our separate lives, the ups and downs, the lows and highs / Through all the chaos, we both grew, and found ourselves anew / But something about you stayed the same, that gentle strength, that calming flame / And now being close to you feels like home, in a way I've never known / And yet you ask me why…. So once again I’ll say ### [Chorus Repeat] When I see you, my eyes light up and yours do too / My self-doubt dies, confidence exudes / I feel good enough to laugh all day and night / And safe enough to lower my guard and cry / And if you need a few more reasons why... / Every time we embrace, my heart starts to race / When I make a mistake, you're quick to give grace / I can speak my mind, and it's not for naught / And you'll return it back with your honest thoughts / So if you want to know why, this is just the start / You give peace to my body, mind, and heart /
