Why?

Why do you have to be so much like me? 
 Why do you have to hold a grudge after i've just finished holding one on you? 
    See were not seeing eye to eye 
       and I can't find the reason why
         Why you don't look at me
        Why you seem annoyed when you talk to me
           Stop reflecting my emotions 
         Cause i'm completely over how I used to feel
           Now that i'm craving closeness 
          You wanna brake my focus
            Tryna keep ya distance
             Why all this resistance? 
           I wish you would just dismiss the past 
            Cause me and you both realized it wasn't going to last
                       And it won't light back up until we make up
                    So much silence and seperation 
                       When you walk into a room you break my concentration
                             And i'm saying when is this tension going to end?
                              I'm trying to break the ice 
                           But there is nothing nice to say 
                          Without shouting, and cursing, than I can be happy
                            But we need to discuss why their's a hole in our trust
                                No funds to lend out cause were in debt
                                            In deep trouble
                                          and I wonder if we'll ever come a float
                                                 Cause us two should be 
                                                      But the air is so thick I can't even breath
                                                          Yet I can feel the other side
                                                            and I want it 
                                                     Why you gotta go and act like that?   
                                                            I'm losing control 
                                                        I can't help wanting you back
                                                           I wish I could retract all these
                                                            pint up emotions 
                                                              Make things normal again    
                                                                  But I can't and all I can ask is why?
