Please tell me what we're doing here

You used to make me laugh,
Now you just make me cry
Yeah i'm still holding on
But now i'm wondering why
Give me a reason
So my mind can stop questioning my heart
You say you love me too, but I know
That we are probably better off apart
But for now you're mine, most the time - and that's ok

I used to feel your joy,
Now I can see your pain
And most our dreams have gone
Now we aren't dreaming the same
Please let me in there
So I can try to awaken up the spark
I promise to tread carefully
Cause I am now afraid of the dark
Don't wanna be alone, not on my own

Please tell me what we're doing here
I don't understand
How'd it go so wrong, get out of hand
Thought a love like ours would never die
But now I know - that that's a lie

We used to fuel the fire,
And never get burnt
Now we're both a bit singed
Though the fire's gone out
Why wont you let me
Walk away and try to make a new start
Is it cause you fear that i'll take,
With me a piece of your heart
Mine is broken too - a piece with you

Please tell me what we're doing here
I don't understand
How'd it go so wrong, get out of hand
Thought a love like ours would never die
But now I know - that that's a lie

Please tell me what we're doing here
I don't understand
How'd it go so wrong, get out of hand
Thought a love like ours would never die
But now I know - that that's a lie

This song I wrote in the last 6 months of my relationship with my first boyfriend and although I don't usually write about personal situations and feelings, this one sort of just came out, as a form of self counseling, as I struggled with the decision of whether to end the relationship or not - and how to end it.
(on a personal note - I realized boyfriend #2's time was up when I started relating to and feeling like I was living in this song again)
This song was a cathartic release for me and at the end of writing it, I knew that whether I liked it or not - the decision had been made and it was just a matter of when and how.
