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.
Inside my mind, I seem to realize, that what I
once, I now despise. I don't know why you had
to lie to me; Why cant you be, what I need?
I don't know, why you lied to me. (I don't know why)
I don't know, why you lied to me. (Inside I feel like dying)
It seems you cant, accept me, with no degree,
and my release. but it seems like now, I have
The upper hand in a way, you cant understand.
in my mind, i seem to realize, that what i once
was, I now despise. I don't know why you had to
lie to me; Why cant you be, what I need?
I don't know, why you lied to me. (I don't know why)
I don't know, why you lied to me. (Inside I feel like dying)
Why? (You lied to me)
When the day comes, and you will be, proud of me,
and who I am.. I wont let you, be proud and praise
me; I guess i could, but i cant, because in my mind,
I seem to realize, that what i once was, i now
despise, I don't know why you had to lie to me,
Why cant you be, What I need?
I don't know, why you lied to me. (I don't know why)
I don't know, why you lied to me. (Inside I feel like dying)
I don't know, why you lied to me. (I don't know why)
I don't know, why you lied to me. (Inside I think Im dead.)
