lyrics

I understand it all now but
I'm broken and shaken.
I tried to help you out but
you refused to listen.
Why do I waste my breath when
you don't pay attention?
I gave all that I could give but
What you want I'm not giving.
I do the things that make sense and
you like things so senseless.
The broken promise you made has
left me sore and breathless.

Why does it always have to end like this?
I always feel so empty yet I'm never being missed.
And the world around me crashes so I write another song
Why can't I just be happy, and my bad luck proven wrong

I finally find something in life that
I think that I'm good at.
You come and tell me to stop cause
no one will ever buy it.
You think that there's no money in
my music, in my art.
You say my dreams are too lofty
but I can't stop my heart.

Why does it always have to end like this?
I always feel so empty yet I'm never being missed.
And the world around me crashes so I write another song
Why can't I just be happy, and my bad luck proven wrong?

What makes the things around me slip right through my fingers?
Why is it that the things that I love can never linger?
What have I done to make things happen the way they do now?
I guess only I have the power to stop it somehow.

So I continue my dreaming
my writing, and scheming.
I won't stop any of these things
that you find demeaning.
At least I try my best to
create and not destroy.
Some day you'll see me as I am
not as some dreaming boy.

Why does it always have to end like this?
I always feel so empty yet I'm never being missed.
And the world around me crashes so I write another song
Why can't I just be happy, and my bad luck proven wrong?

It doesn't have to always end like this.
I'll make my mark on your world, when I'm gone I'll be missed.
And the world around will crash, but they will listen to my song.
Someday I will be happy and my bad luck proven wrong.
