[Verse 1] I keep the blame in my coat Like a stone in my chest Tried to sleep it off But it sits up and talks Mama said keep your head high I keep mine in my hands Count the cuts on my heart Like they mean something [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what I did Tell me where it went wrong I been standing in the rain Too long, too long If I fold, who sees it? If I break, who calls? I hear my name in the dark Then it falls [Chorus] Why me, why me? Why do I bleed? Why me, why me? Why can’t I breathe? (why me, why me) Hold me up now (why me, why me) Don’t let me drown out [Verse 2] Every smile got a crack Every word got a bruise I wore brave on my face Still it looked like lose Heard the door in the hall Thought it came for me But it was only my doubt Coming back to eat [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what I did Tell me where it went wrong I been standing in the rain Too long, too long If I fold, who sees it? If I break, who calls? I hear my name in the dark Then it falls [Chorus] Why me, why me? Why do I bleed? Why me, why me? Why can’t I breathe? (why me, why me) Hold me up now (why me, why me) Don’t let me drown out [Bridge] If I said I’m fine Would you know that’s a lie? I keep my pain in line Till it learns to cry Maybe I’m still here For the part I can’t see Maybe I’m not cursed Just too tired to leave [Chorus] Why me, why me? Why do I bleed? Why me, why me? Why can’t I breathe? (why me, why me) Hold me up now (why me, why me) Don’t let me drown out
