Analysis of Why Me
Sameer Beg 1098 (Karachi)
i wrote this back in 2012
With hands in hands we walked along,
Together singing that beautiful song
Which described life, described us
Described our relation but alas,
We couldn’t get together, couldn’t get along
Though we had known each other for a period too long
My fault it was, she exclaimed,
I was the one, who was to be blamed,
Why not her, why always me
What did I lack, what couldn’t she see?
But the doubts created, the change in behavior
Lost a friend, whom I thought was mine forever
Those lonely nights, those empty days
Those Saturday nights, oh man what can I say
You literally tore me apart,
Breaking me in to a million pieces,
Why didn’t I judge you before?
Like a man with million faces
What could I have said, what could I have done,
Why did I lose, when I thought I had won?
