Why?

Verse 1

All these changes taking place,
I couldn't recognize my face.
I had to get away,
From this town,
I just couldn't stay.

Verse 2

Asked myself if it was fate,
For the answer, I couldn't wait.
I had to be set free,
From this town,
That imprisoned me.

Chorus

As the moment passed me by,
In the blink of an eye,
I only wanted to know,
Why I couldn't go.
I just needed to know,
Why I couldn't go, go, go...

Verse 3

Words I tried to re-arrange,
But their order still seemed so strange.
And without a sound,
In this town,
I had to stick around.

Verse 4

Nothing left to discover,
This place is just like the others.
Something I couldn't find,
In this town,
Was my piece of mind.

Chorus

As the moment passed me by,
In the blink of an eye,
I only wanted to know,
Why I couldn't go.
I just needed to know,
Why I couldn't go, go, go...

End/Outro Verse

These feelings don't change
As time fades away,
Into the midnight sky.
I still find myself asking why;

Why, why, why,
Why, why, why.
