I Wish I Knew

I just really want to know, that’s all…
I wish I knew
What to do
When it feels like the world
And all who inhabit
Has it out for me
I wish I knew
Why
When my life seems
So wonderful
It goes down the drain
At any moment
And becomes
A nightmare
Why
I wish I knew
Just tell me why
Why
Why

Why does life
Have to be so confusing
Why does life have to stab you in the back
Why does life
Never cease to torched
I wish I knew
How to deal with this
I wish I knew who to believe
I wish
I just wish
I knew
That’s all I wish

Why does
Everyone lie
Why does
The world hate
Why does
Everything good in this world
Stop in a moment
Why does
It have to be me
Why me
I ask
Why me
