Young female vocals, pop emotional, catchy, dark, songwriter

V4.5

[Verse 1]
At first I didn't understand
I could hardly stand
Seemed like I was close to death
I had nothing left

Got up from my bed but felt small
Did anyone care at all?
Held my breath, hand on my heart
It was tearing me apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Walls closed in on me, couldn't breathe
Started having dark thoughts, 
My stomach felt as if it were in knots

[Verse 2]
Did some things that lead to shame
Ignored when people asked if I was okay
All my pride taken away........
My legs started shaking
Then my muscles started aching
My whole world was quaking
Some assumed that I was faking

[Pre-Chorus]
My blood pressure was rising
I felt like crying
But I didn't dare
Life is just so unfair

Didn't want to appear weak
Need to calm down and take a seat
Didn't know if it was mental
Had a lot of bad potential

I almost broke down
The voice in my head screaming loud...

[Chorus]
Why do you always do this to me? (Woah!)
Had everything go your way
When I asked for help, you delayed
Guess your care was deleted
Never can be repeated

Why do you always break me down?
Kick me when I’m on the ground
Told myself I wouldn’t cry
But I’m bleeding from inside
Why do you always…
Why do you always…
Why do you always do this to me?

[Bridge]
I stayed silent just to cope
Tied my pain up with a rope
But it frayed with every lie
Now I’m choking on goodbyes

You wore a mask of gold
But your heart was always cold
Said I was the one to blame
Now I’m haunted by your name

[Verse 3] 
Sleep don't come the way it did
Lost the fire I had as a kid
I gave you all, I gave you trust
And watched it shatter into dust

[Final Chorus]
 Why do you always do this to me?
You left me drowning in the sea
Of promises you never meant
All your words were just pretend

Why do you always tear me apart?
Then act like it was never hard
I screamed, I begged, I prayed you'd see
But you just walked away from me

Why do you always…
Why do you always…
Why do you always do this to me?

[Outro]
Maybe you never cared at all...
Maybe it was me who was wrong...
But I still ask endlessly...
