I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY

I been young with a head full of questions Heart going loud,

like it’s breaking the frame Counting my steps on cracked sidewalks Like

the pavement keep calling my name Staring up into nothing but endless

Tryna read what I’m not supposed to see Why this body,

why this pressure Why this fire living inside me Tell me,

tell me Where do I go When everything fades And nobody knows

Tell me, tell me Why I don’t feel right Every time I

get Close to my real side I just wanna know why Why

I’m alive I just wanna know why Before I run out of

time I wanna feel something real Something real,

something real I just wanna know why

Why I’m alive Mama said,

“you gon’ find it,

just wait” But time don’t wait,

it just slips through my hands Daddy said,

“you gotta stand like a man” I’m just tryna understand who I

am Left my fears in the dirt out back Buried deep where

I thought they’d stay But they creeping in through the silence Every

night when the light fades away Tell me,

tell me What I become When memories hit And I go numb

Tell me, tell me Do I break down Just to rebuild Something

right now I just wanna know why Why I’m alive I just

wanna know why Before I run out of time I wanna feel

something real Something real,

something real I just wanna know why Why I’m alive If the

truth in the scars,

I’ll show ’em No hiding the pain,

I own it If it’s written in people,

I’m searching Every face,

every moment I don’t want no life on display I need something

raw when I wake Give me truth I can bleed in my

lungs And a hand when I start to break I just wanna

know why

Why I’m alive I just wanna know why Before I run out

of time I wanna feel something real Something real,

something real I just wanna know why

Why I’m I alive….
