Reason Says I'm Wrong

Why can't I breathe?
I'm afraid I'll cry.
Why can't I walk?
I'm afraid I'll cry.
Why can't I speak?
I'm afraid I'll cry.
Why can't I sing?
I'm afraid I'll cry.
Why can I only smile?
I'm afraid I'll cry.
Why can't I cry?
I'm afraid you'll love me less.

Why can't I fail?
You'll love me less.
Why can't I say no?
You'll love me less.
Why can't I show pain?
You'll love me less.

And then I'll be alone again,
The fool again,
The lost, kicked puppy again.

Reason says I'm wrong.
Then why the hell
Am I crying alone?
