Why I Always Lyrics

Even as I rush out the door

I don't know why I try so hard sometimes

Could you tell me why?

Even though the chapter's closed

I open up the book once more

It's torture

Could you tell me why?

Why I always see

The bad before the good

Why I only picture

All the little things that hurt

Even as I think of all the good times I have had

They're two dimensional

Could you tell me why?

Even as I think ahead

My head won't do it right

The lights don't come on

Could you tell me why?

Why I always hear

The bad before the good

Why I only hear

The things I think I should

It's just a point of view

A different color

A different hue

If it's directed at you

Doesn't mean it's real

Doesn't mean it's true

Even as I try to write it all down on a page

I fill the margins

Could you tell me why?

Even as I start to heal

I peel off the scab

It's a cycle

Could you tell me why?

Why I always feel

The bad before the good

Why I only think of

All the things I think I should

It's just a point of view

A different color

A different hue

If it's directed at you

Doesn't make it real

Doesn't make it true
