Why Do I Do What I Do

Can’t give you any reasons, can’t think of any rhymes Not getting any easier to stay between the lines I’ve got lots of excuses so I’ll be justified Someday my heart will tell me how often I have lied Why do I do what I do? So many times it happens, I act and then regret So many things occurring I just cannot accept One day I might have answers, perhaps I’ll never know Just have to learn the lessons but it all comes too slow Why do I do what I do? So analyze the queries and agonize each day It’s no surprise the theories won’t chase the doubts away I make believe I’m okay but that’s naïve, I know For I perceive that someday, someway I still need to grow. Why do I do what I do? They say it takes a lifetime to finally understand But I’m all out of patience ‘cause it’s all out of hand So, show me which direction and I will turn my heart I’ll step into the future and play a brand new part. Why do I do what I do?
