"Why Do You Punish Me" lyrics

Why Do You Punish Me

Why do you punish me
For loving you?
You're counting my mistakes
How about yours?

Why do you sentence me
Too nice of tears?
Convicting all these dreams
I've dreamed for all these years

My heart cries out
Behind these prison bars
It pleads to you
For your true love
To set it free

Why do you punish me?
Is love a crime?
If so I'll spend the lifetime loving
Serving time

My heart cries out
Behind these prison bars
It pleads to you
For your true love
To set it free

Why do you punish me?
Is love a crime?
If so I'll spend the lifetime loving
Serving time
