Why Do I - Maria Lynn

Manipulations, your face keeps changing

It drives me crazy each time (each time, each time)

You keep tryna save it, I keep misplacing

All of my sanity but in reality I make the same mistakes and never leave

I get lost at night, I don’t want to

I been drinking on, I don’t need to

My skin burns like cigarette paper

Misusing medication so I’m quick to lose my patience, yeah

I scream out

Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?

Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out

Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound

Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I

Decision-making, it’s not my strength and

I gotta make one this time (this time, this time)

'Cause I’m complacent ('cause I’m complacent) and your mistakes

taking all of my energy, feeding off of my instability

I get lost at night, I don’t want to

I been drinking on, I don’t need to

My skin burns like cigarette paper

right into the paper, saw the imprint of my face and I

I scream out, oh Lord, ah

Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?

Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out

Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound

Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I

Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I

Why do I, do I, do I, do I, d-do I

wide open

Driving through the oceans

Found the darkest parts of me

For the first time, I can breathe

Running, still I’m floating

Speeding in slow motion

Found the darkest parts of me

For the first time, I can breathe

Why do I stay so busy loving someone other than myself?

Pledge allegiance to my future when my past keeps coming out

Walk on side ropes, oh the city’s too high up to hear your sound

Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I

Why do I, do I, do I, why do I, do I, do I

Why do I, do I, do I, do I, d-do I
