Just Because It Is ©©

When I look up
From my daydreaming
I wonder
Why doesn’t it have to be this way?

When I walk down the street
I look all around and I wonder
Why does it have to be this way?
I wonder

When I smile at you
Why do you frown then turn away?
Why does it have to be this way?
Or don’t you have anything to say

When I say hello
Why do you hear goodbye?
Why does it have to be this way?
Is it something I said or something you don’t want to hear

When I reach out you pull away
Why does it have to be that way?
Why not take what you can
Hold onto what’s real

When I wake up
It’s always to early or to later
Why does it have to be this way?
Why can’t it be the right time?

When I close my eyes
I’m still sleeping by your side
I see the world as it should be, to me
Why does it have to be this way?

I wonder
When I wonder
What I will find inside
Why does it have to be this way?

I wonder
