Wondering Why Lyrics

I always wondered what it's like not to be me

I always wondered what it's like on the other side

I've been wondering why I've waited my whole life

Cause it gets better with time or so they say

I'm remembering back growing up with a dad

Who would drink and would beat all the love that I had

For myself outta me till he traded the drink for a pill

and I wished he was dead

I'm remembering back growing up with a mom

Who was thrown to the floor all alone

But would always get up

Wish she could get out

Wish they we could have run away

I see a monster standing in the doorway

I see a mother sobbing on the floor

Why me wishing I never had been born

Why me why me

I always wondered what it's like not to be me

I always wondered what it's like on the other side

I've been wondering why I've waited my whole life

Cause it gets better with time or so they say

I'm remembering going to school

All the kids that were cruel

All had clothes that were new

I had holes in my shoes and was told I'm a loser

Wish I wasn't a loser

I remember the suicide of the girl who'd hide

Her nose in a book she took their lies

Till she took her life

But the look on their face never changed

I see the monsters staring in the hallway

I see another loser given up

Why me wishing I never had been born

Why me why me

A new day awaits

Another day another monster

And I've grown to hate the wait for peace

Dedicate my life

To not become another monster

But they stole my face and brought me to my knees

I always wondered what it's like not to be me

I always wondered what it's like on the other side

I've been wondering why I've waited my whole life

Cause it gets better with time or so they say

I always wondered what it's like not to be me

I always wondered what it's like on the other side

I've been wondering why I've waited my whole life

Cause it gets better with time or so they say
