lyrics

Why do you make me cry mother
I thought that I could fly father
Add, subtract, multiply teacher
Who, what, how, where and whys

Why do you keep me in the dark at night
Tell me why-why me?

Found limits in my skies father
Now that I’ve grown up shy don’t bother
Don’t fight just pacify-move over
We smother signs of life
Why do the little things we never do shine so bright?
Why must I learn form lessons never taught
Tell me why-why me?

If it’s not one thing it’s surely another keeping me down
Yet I’ll never bring myself to blame you for it all
And if you cared for me then why would you do it anyway
Yet it’s still one thing I keep coming back to every time

I fell small but even tall buildings can fall

The years have passed us by-I’m stronger
Still the feeling won’t subside
Why can’t we shake ourselves free form the trap we both created long ago?

If it’s not one thing it’s surely another keeping me down
Yet I’ll never bring myself to blame you for it all
And if you cared for me then why would you do it anyway
Yet it’s still one thing I keep coming back to every time

It’s time for us to try
