Why (Inst.)

Could you even understand

What it’s like to be used at hand

By so many men

I had so much trust in you

To have you turn around

And sell me to pay your dues

So why was I

I not good enough

And how was I

So damn foolish

Could you even understand

And have you gone and washed your hands

I’m sure you have

And now I hold my head

Above a spirit dead

So why was I

I not good enough

And how was I

So damn foolish

And where was love

When you sold me away

And where was hope

When I’m raped every day

I’m not the same girl

Not the same girl

Could never be the same girl

In that bright blue world

And if you had to choose again

Would you keep me then

I bet you wouldn’t

And would you even know my voice

Would you know my face

Withered and stressed to age

Well I fought, and I screamed, and I ran

And I bruised, and I bled

And I felt an evil so cold instead

So why was I

I not good enough

And how was I

So damn foolish

And where was love

When you sold me away

And where was hope

When I’m raped every day

So close your eyes

And just hide from the pain

And breathe a sigh

Let your thoughts drift away

Away…
