Why Do These Things Happen to Me Lyrics

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do

Storms of pain come rolling on through

Caught in the rains of misery

Thinking, why do these things happen to me?

No one can really understand

Nobody's held the same weight you're holding in your hands

And you realize you might be in this alone

Trying to find an impossible strength on your own

City lights, beautiful sights

Pointless fights and sleepless nights

Will not do you any good

Setting suns, races that you won

Pleasure that leaves and pleasure that comes

Will not heal you like it should

You're thinking, why do these things happen to me?

You take a chance on a shooting star

Leave your belongings in the car

You step outside and darkness is all you see

Why do these stars never shine for me?

Then a strip of light starts shining in

Through a crack of life somewhere deep within

Then it dies so suddenly

You're thinking, why do these things happen to me?

No one can really empathize

Nobody knows what's going on behind those eyes

And you realize you might be in this alone

Trying to find an impossible strength on your own

City lights, beautiful sights

Pointless fights and shapeless nights

Will not do you any good

Setting suns, races that you won

Pleasure that leaves and pleasure that comes

Will not heal you like they should

You're thinking, why do these things happen to me?

Why do these things happen to me?
