Analysis of Why Do You Do This?



Why do you do this?
Don't you know how sensetive I am?
Don't you know how much you mean to me?
Don't you know how I feel?

Why do you do this?
It makes me want to cry.
You do this on purpose.
You know how I feel.

Why do you do this?
Do you even care?
Why do I like you so much?
Why do you mean so much to me?
