Lyrics
Why?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why so selfish?
Can’t you see the good things that surround you?
Could you stop and think about those who
Stick around and keep holding you?
Why so foolish?
All is fine but then you have to ruin it
So, remember people have problems too
It’s not all about you
It ain’t easy, I know
But you have to do it
So try just a little harder
And be yourself something good and new
Why don’t you want to try?
Why do you choose to waste your life?
Why do you pout and cry?
Try! Try and seek, find the light!
Why so selfish?
You don’t care about nothing but your pain
You’re driving the ones who love you insane
Baby, see: This way the boat will sink again
