Why Do You Do It
Why do you do it?
I want you, to make me happy,
I want something that guarantees happiness.
I want you, to help me escape,
From this thing called life, I have begun to hate.
I wish to raise up, to a higher plain,
I want to build a barrier, between the heart and the pain.
I want to be relaxed, when I talk to her,
I want to sound cool and not cheesy when I flirt.
I want us to all, to have one thing in common,
They’ve all done it before and I want to be like them.
I want to feel, what my idols felt,
I want to become someone else.
