    Wonder Why

    by: Sing It Loud

    You got an awkward set of dark brown eyes
    That are, telling me not to by
    A single word that creeps between your teeth tonight
    You know you got some nerve to test my will
    It's been givin' my back the chills
    And honestly I hope that you agree....with me
    That we don't live forever
    No we won't
    But lets try to get better
    Yeah I hope
    You can pull this together
    Are you invincible
    You make me say
    Woah!
    How I wonder why
    You let everything collide
    Don't try to hide today
    Does it ever really help anyway
    Now you've been holding on for far to long
    And I don't wanna rub you wrong
    But who exactly do you think you are
    Cus you've been playing games with peoples minds
    And I hope that it helps you pass the time
    Cus I'm the one that thinks you're blind
    So just pull it together
    Because you make me say
    Woah!
    How I wonder why
    You let everything collide
    Don't try to hide today
    Does it ever really help anyway
    So forgive your enemies
    And never forget their names
    I hope you don't try to run away
    Because it never really helps anyway
    Giving me your confidence
    Has started to cave in again
    The walls will fall
    Specifically as planned
    If common sense is heating hear
    I don't think you'll be thinking clear
    Your eyes for me
    Are always looking up
    Woah!
    How I wonder why
    You let everything collide
    Don't try to hide today
    Does it ever really help anyway
    So forgive your enemies
    And never forget their names
    I hope you don't try to run away
