Why Does It Always Rain on Me? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

[Chorus]
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

[Verse 2]
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Oh where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

[Chorus]
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

[Post Chorus]
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold

[Verse 1]
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

[Chorus]
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold

[Chorus]
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

[Outro]
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....
Oh oh
