[Verse 1]
Why do we let ourselves fall
Then we get up and act like it’s not our fault
Looking for someone else to blame
Like it will clear our name
Knowing that it really never works
Why blame everybody else
For the things that we know we can change ourselves
As if us watching from a distance
Is gonna make a difference
Though we know it really has no worth
[Chorus]
Why do we wait for the sun to shine
As if we're getting younger
While wasting time
It just doesn't make sense to me
It's not how it's supposed to be
These questions on my mind
All got me asking why
[Verse 2]
Why don’t we give things our best
Always asking for more while we still give less
Does it all really seem so fair
Pretending that we care
Though we know that we really don't
Why hold on tight to the past
And the moments we knew that would never last
When we could focus on the good
Make things the way we should
There's just no good excuse at all
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
No longer just gonna wait
For somethin' different
Or somethin' else to change
I'll have to do it myself
And now that it’s finally hit me
Hope it hits someone else
[Chorus]
