i've been scared and lonely
i've asked myself is something wrong with you
my girlfriend told me
i need some time alone to deal with issues

but something makes me carry on
it's difficult to understand
why i always wanna fly

i do it for the drugs
i do it just to feel alive
i do it for the love
that i get from the bottom of a bottle

you always call me
and ask me how i make it through the day
i'm always fallin'
i guess it's just god's way of making me pay

but something makes me carry on
it's difficult to understand, why i always wanna fly

(chorus)

when i, i wonder why i try
and i, i wonder why i bother
and i, i wonder why i cry
why i, i go through all this troub
