So tell me why

Unbreakable, durable, out of this world, a jewel of its own kind,
a love I describe
but just to the best of what notion holds
not what the world lets you face with each wake
Better gents and femmes we can become
if we gain control of what we cannot begin to fathom
but our hearts are destined to get beat up, tossed up and about
in this sea of love which doesn't often remain calm
So tell me, why do we still go digging for a jewel in whose mine we always end up dead in?

Dark clouds hold siege the midnight skies,
I can see them as I am banished from my warm bed tonight
Our warm bed I meant, her and I
'cause our words got too bitter to swallow back
too difficult to see love when it's all covered in gal
more difficult to go back to the place we once were
'cause it's all strange now
she doesn't know the man I am amounting to she said
couldn't pick up what is left of me and see the man she once loved
too difficult an errand to run, going after `her man`
and I didn't think she was harsh as I felt the same way too
So tell me why despite all these, thinking of her would make me smile inside

I find it rather ironic to have a feeling you can explain
but not really tell or wrap your head around what it really is
this feeling called love
So tell me why you would still say it, `I love you`
