Why

(album: Growing Up - 2022)

I look up and see the sun
I didn't want it anyway
So I just drown out everything
'Cause I cannot feel this way

And I'd sit here all alone
All alone, I was okay
So I just sit here on my own
Now on my own, I just

Cry myself away
Why can't it just be that way?

Up against us, there's a wall
And it just won't go away
I really want to make it fall
It refuses to give way

In my notebook, we can touch
We just hug, hang out all day
In my notebook, there is love
Love that always makes me

Cry myself away
Why can't it just be that way?

I just shout and never sing
No one likes it anyway
So I just drown out everything
'Cause I cannot feel this way

And so we keep going on
Though no one gets it anyway
'Cause why should we follow along?
If will just make us

Cry ourselves away
Why can't we just be our way?

The sun came out
I shoved it out
Who wants it now, anyway?
