I don't wanna talk, you're too busy gone
You're too busy being strong, you can never guide
I dunno how to hide, I confide something's wrong
What is it you see when you look at me

Am I all you hoped I'd be
Or have I become the ungrateful son
You know, the one you speak of

I remember back to when I was young
There was so much going on
We were very tight, now we always fight
I confide something's wrong

Nothing's ever good, nothing's ever pure
As you slam another door
Who am I to be? What will I become?
I'm not a child anymore

Follow me out into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
More that we shout, the further I am
We do this over and over again

To tell the truth I been getting through
Every time I pass through you
I've been moving on finally belong
I confide something's wrong

Maybe we can mend in a couple years
After all the air has cleared
But I think, for now, I'll be moving on
I gotta learn to be strong

Follow me out into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
More that we shout, the further I am
We do this over and over again

Why? Why did you? Why? Why did you
Why? Why did you turn away?
Why? Why did you? Why? Why did you
Why? Why did you turn away?
Why? Why did you? Why? Why did you
Why? Why did you turn away?

Tell me what you see when you look at me
Am I all you hoped I'd be
You don't have the right, everything is fine
Because I can confide

Follow me out into the world
Wish there was some way for me to be heard
The more that we shout, the further I am
We do this over and over again

Why? Why did you? Why? Why did you?
Why? Why did you? Why?
And we do this over and over again?
Why? Why did you? Why? Why did you? Why?
And we do this over and over again
