Undone

When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones Because sticks and stones they could break your bones The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense Was to enrich myself at other people's expense I could walk over corpses to make myself a name I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame People tried to stop me but they didn't understand I wasn't looking for affection or a helping hand To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I always meant to be the element of your crime And don't ask me why Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why I never told the truth cos I believed all my lies I believed that if I made my own alibis I would find a good reason and a better excuse So I could justify my hate and my self abuse I would satisfy myself in any way I could Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive But all I ever wanted was a life to live To bad you never really understood the way of time I never looked into my mind I got to get yourself back to the sky Don't ask me Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? I just can't disguise your heat Never need to know your beat Don't ask me why Looking back at my life there's a lot I regret I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget But I didn't know better I was insecure I guess I never took care of my problems before I feel bad about the people that I pushed around I feel bad about the people that I let down I put the blame on myself I can't look the other way Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Why doesn't anybody listen? Why doesn't anybody hear? Why doesn't anybody see me? Why don't you interfere? Don't ask me why Don't ask me why
