lets give it half a try 
I think there’s something here and I don’t know why 
This thing’s been growing strong 
Day after day and its still not gone 
I’m feeling so revealed 
I’m thinking that my thoughts are unconcealed 
I’m standing all alone with big problems of my own 
I’m not meaning to be sly 
But at least please tell me why 

Oh tell me, tell me why 
Even if I try 
It’s just the way it goes, this is just the way it goes 
My mind is overrated 
I’m good, but I am jaded 
This is just the way it goes, it’s the way it goes 

I’m searching for some friends 
elevators going down, down again 
I can’t stand to be on loan 
I’m drooling like a dog that’s waiting for a bone 
So maybe if the sky turns blue 
We could fly as if the day was just for me and you 
If you’re alone use the phone and we’ll give it a try 
The coast is clear I need to hear you say “Tell me why, oh why” 

Oh tell me, tell me why 
Even if I try 
It’s just the way it goes, this is just the way it goes 
My mind is overrated 
I’m good, but I am faded 
This is just the way it goes, it’s the way it goes
