Why?
Why weren't you here for me?
Why weren't you here to help me become the man I want to be?
Why did you say those words that I had to hear?
Why did you, when you put me in even more fear?
Why didn't you help me when you heard me cry?
Would you even notice if I died?
Why did you tell me I just want the best for you?
Did you listen to yourself? Did you think things through?
Where were you as I've grown older?
Or are you still bitter, and getting colder?
I'll tell you that I used to think that I wish I did die
So I'm just gonna ask you one more time, WHY?
