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.
I've only driven a hundred miles since you've gone
And I've only given my energy away
When I meet a newbie I slowly crack and spill the past
I realize this is phony but there is so much love since you passed away
Why? Try?
The suits, they tried to claim that
Everything he won was theirs
But mother read the files
And saved the name he shed
Why?
Why? Try?
'Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away
When I'm turning japanese
I always think you're mad at me
But I am no conformist
I just like to free my troops
Like to free my troops
Why?
Why? Try?
'Cause I can't go on without you
Since you've passed away
