Years ago I could sleep on my papa's shoulders
It was good
It was great
and he held me tight
Until the day he would say
his arms grew tired
He said I have to go
He said I have to grow
He said I have to see the world
and live on my own
But why
do I feel unloved by you?
Why
do I feel like the rain's too strong?
Why
Why can't I get my own big box and help myself
Let me out?
Why?
Uncles and aunts, cousins and friends
they were good at first
they were only good when they needed you
I feel untamed
I feel ashamed
Until the day my pops would say
I have to go away
He said I have to find
the peak I want to climb
and have to see the world
and live life on my own
But why
do I feel unloved by you?
Why
do I feel like the rain's too strong?
Why
Why can't I get my own big box and help myself
Let me out?
Why?
Tell me the reason why they hate me
Everyone hates me
they don't care
Show me the reason why I have to live cuz
Everyone hates me
they don't care
Why?
Why?
Why?
But why
do I feel unloved by you?
Why
do I feel like the rain's too strong?
Why
Why can't I get my own big box and help myself
Let me out?
Why?
