Alright here are the lyrics:

Chorus (2x) :

Why did I do this?
Why did I do that?
I guess nobodys got a replywhen somebody asks why
Why did this have to happen to me?
Why did that have to happen to me?
I guess nobodys got a replywhen somebody asks why

Verse 1:

Okay first verse, let us begin
No need to rehearse, I aint startin all over again
Im gonna take it to the end, use my words to represent
And ima burn you over, like a flamethrower
Now this verse might be pointless so far
But this is just the start, everything im gonna say comes from the heart
I just let it out, spread it out, all over this page
I wanna shout it out, Im not allowed, Its like an endless rage
You are not me, you wouldnt understand
How its like to lose your father, and suddenly be the man
Showered with responsibilities, Im only 14
Did I want this to happen to me? No please
Im havin a dream, every other night
Bout my father bein alive, yea thats right
Some nights Im even cryin myself to sleep
Man, Id rather be lyin there- countin sheep
Now as Im writing this song, I feel like im going to cry
But I have to be strong, As I say my goodbye
Sometimes I just sit here, and watch the time go by
As days turn to years, I find myself asking why?

----CHORUS----

Verse 2:

Okay lets rewind, looks like a flashback
To the time I was blind, and stole a few things and a gum pack
I was blinded by greed, so I jacked that
Something I didnt really need, but it looked easy so I grabbed that
Next thing I felt, was a hand on my shoulder
Turned around, heard no sound, except for the cashier callin me over
I walked over to him, he asked me to show him my pockets
My choices? Should I stay or should I blast like a rocket?
I decided not to run, If they called the cops Id be done
But they called the cops anyways, and even my own mother
They let me go with a warning, but my shame felt like no other
I saw disappointment in her face, I felt like such a disgrace
I went home that night, expecting to be yelled at
But my mom just sat me down, talked to me, couldnt believe that
I never wouldve guessed it, but that was also my dads reaction
I just got arrested but he took no harmful action
Now as Im writing this song, I feel like im going to cry
But I have to be strong, As I say my goodbye
Sometimes I just sit here, and watch the time go by
As days turn to years, I find myself asking why?

----CHORUS----

Verse 3:

So in conclusion, this song is like a fusion
Of my brain and my heart, I said that from the start
All I wonder now, is why you had to part
Why you had to go away, and leave us to be smart
Why did you have to leave us with all these troubles?
Do you know how were goin through all these struggles?
Now were here tryna to figure out the answer to all these puzzles
Once we think were close, we end back up in rubbles
But I know youre watching my each every move
I feel you givin me the strength, when im about to lose
I hope to make you proud one day, when I go my own way
I wont be able to see you, but I still wanna hear you say
I am proud of you son, and what you have accomplished
And I am not going to run, until I have finished
All I gotta I say is, that I really miss you
I wish I was still a kid, runnin up to kiss you
Now as Im writing this song, I feel like im going to cry
But I have to be strong, As I say my goodbye
Sometimes I just sit here, and watch the time go by
As days turn to years, I find myself asking why?


---Chorus---
