Tell Me Why

Tracin' the steps that I take
 Feelin' mistakes that are fake
 Makin' excuses like imaginary friends run away
 To where I've already been
 To where I already am
 So tell me tell me it'll work out so I'll be 'round again
 I look inside I'm surprised at what I see in my eyes
 So tell me tell me was I there when I was taught how to lie?
 I thought I'd chase paradise
 But Ill just set off a lie
 So tell me tell me did I die when I was taught how to lie?
 Don't tell me what it'll be because it's all in degrees
 And by degrees what I mean is you don't see what I see
 So is this falling apart or are these pieces of me?
 Is this a nightmare to be or am I building a dream?
 When did this come to be?
 When did things pick up speed?
 Tiein' down my living needs
 Tiein' down my living needs
 Oh ohh
 Don't know why (don't know why)
 Don't know why (don't know why)
 Don't know why I am here
 All that I've forgotten is only stoppin to remind me
 Only I (Only I)
 Know that I (Know that I)
 Only I can be my only
 Odd sacrifice
 I suffered twice and all that I did
 Was believe...
 Its funny how life can be the circles dance around me
 Drawing a reminder of what I've done and who I've become
 Sleepin' my days without dreams, Wakin' a night without sleep
 Missing the truth to lie the promises I heard I would keep
 I'm lost in my paradise, the walls have built in my life
 So tell me tell me will I die if I forget how to lie?
 When did this come to be?
 When did things pick up speed?
 Tiein' down my living needs
 Tiein' down my living needs
 Oh ohh
 Don't know why (Don't know why)
 Don't know why (Don't know why)
 Don't know why I am here
 All that I've forgotten is only stoppin to remind me
 Only I (Only I)
 Know that I (Know that I)
 Only I can be my only
 Odd sacrifice
 I suffered twice and all that I did
 Was believe
