Why?

There is no one who bothers me like you do
I can't blink right without being wrong
All I wanted to do was to be your friend
But instead I play the violin song

What do you want me to do
Jump through hoops, a kamikaze backflip
Become a fire breathing dragon
Or a knight in shining armour

But what if I am not the bravest
Or the smartest
But what if I am honest & true

If the world was  a better place
I would open my heart to you
And whilst  the world has their own view
I will quietly smile with you

I liked this although i thought it was a little short and wondered why it's called 'why'.

The theme of it reminded me of a song called 'Tower Of Strength' from back in the day with the line 'and a tower of strength is something i'll never be'. If you're looking for a hero don't look here kind of thing.

I don't know what i'm doing but i do it anyway.

Some of these lyrics really shine IMO. I'm with PJ tho - why "why?"
To be picky, I'd rather have heard better rhyming in the second verse (maybe same pattern as the first) and the rhyming of "you" with "you" seemed too simple in the last verse.
Oh, and needs to be longer too, but you are really onto something here..
