Why Do I Try?
Why do I seem to try?
When I know it cannot fly
Away, away
Why do I waste my time?
When I know it cannot rhyme
Like William Shakespeare
Give the audience a tear
It seems like I can’t do anything
It seems like I cannott do a thing
When something else is on my mind
And I concentrate really, really hard
I’m screaming in my head yeah,
Why do I try?
I shouldn’t even bother
It won’t be another
Poem, poem
Why do I waste my life?
I should just go get a knife
And cut into my thoughts
And what I have been taught
Because...
It seems like I can’t do anything
It seems like I cannot do a thing
When something else is on my mind
And I concentrate really, really hard
I’m screaming in my head yeah,
Why do I try?
Giving up seems like a good way to go
But I feel inside that I have something more
Something inside me
Wonder what it could be?
Yeah
It seems like I can’t do anything
It seems like I cannot do a thing
When something else is on my mind
And I concentrate really, really hard
I’m screaming in my head yeah,
Why do I try?
Why do I try?
Why do I waste my time, my life?
And I concentrate really, really hard
I’m screaming in my head yeah,
Why do I try?
