lyrics
V1
I was never strong till I had to be
I had no wings till I was forced to fly
I'll never say that this has been easy
I'll never pretend I didn't ask, 'Why'
cuz why right now, why, is my favorite question
and why is, like, the only word that I can form
I ask why, I cry, oh I've
never asked him why so many times before
Why?
CH
You're not alone if you don't understand what's happening
and why
You're not alone if when you're on your on your knees to pray
instead you cry
you're not alone if you're jealous of the lives
that turned out fine
when you are struggling to simply make it by
you did your best
yeah you did everything right
you're thinking karma really got it wrong this time
you're not alone
you're not alone
V2
I was always one to stick to gravity
the winds of change were fine
just went where they took me
I never questioned anything
I was happy
now all I have is one question coursing through me
Why?
Why?
CH
Outro
They tell me I'm strong
but I have to be
That's my only choice
be strong and try to breathe
but I wake up each day
still feeling empty
cuz there's no answer
to this question lingering
why?
why?
