I distinctly recall rifling through my closet for something to wear when I wrote this one. I presume it wasn’t raining, but why did I write this?

 

When the rain falls

Down from the sky

There’s a million things to say

A thousand reasons now to cry

And when the whole world

Falls apart

And all light starts to die

The only thing I need to know is why

 

Why does the sun have to set every night

Why can’t all the stars in the sky shine bright

Why doesn’t anything ever turn out right

When someone’s heart is broken so don’t break mine

 

Why’s it so hard to find perfect bliss

Why would anybody steal happiness

Why doesn’t it ever heal with time

When someone’s heart is shattered so don’t break mine

 

Everybody knows

It’s another world out there

Nobody cares

Frustrate

Contemplate

Until you think it’s not fair

But it’s not fair, is it

When you try so hard

To chase love time again

And then somebody breaks your heart

And why would someone do that

Could you tell me as a fact

Why people fall in love

When they know their heart will crack

I for one don’t wanna be hurt so many times

By people who don’t care at all

Won’t even give a dime

But who cares what I think

All I do is write songs

Songs for the people who really think they don’t belong

Why they think that, I have no clue

But I know that I could never deal with being hurt by you

 

Why does the sun have to set every night

Why can’t all the stars in the sky shine bright

Why doesn’t anything ever turn out right

When someone’s heart is broken so don’t break mine

 

Why’s it so hard to find perfect bliss

Why would anybody steal happiness

Why doesn’t it ever heal with time

When someone’s heart is shattered so don’t break mine

 

So when the clouds close

Over the sky

There’s a feeling in the air

Sort of makes me want to cry

‘Cause I know I can’t be healed

If my heart was ever tried

That’s why there’s a lot of people asking why

 

Why does the sun have to set every night

Why can’t all the stars in the sky shine bright

Why doesn’t anything ever turn out right

When someone’s heart is broken

When someone’s heart is broken

 

Why does the sun have to set every night

Why can’t all the stars in the sky shine bright

Why doesn’t anything ever turn out right

When someone’s heart is shattered so don’t break mine

 

Why’s it so hard to find perfect bliss

Why would anybody steal happiness

Why doesn’t it ever heal with time

When someone’s heart is broken

Please don’t ever break mine
