[Intro] Mmm… Oh, no… Why does it feel so far away? [Verse 1] Suddenly, the tears begin to fall, Suddenly, I’m breaking down again. I don’t know why I feel so lost, I don’t know where this road will end. Why does it feel so hard to reach? Why does every step come with a fight? Why does what I’m searching for Keep slipping through my hands at night? [Pre-Chorus] I keep holding on, Even when my strength is gone. I smile like nothing’s wrong, But inside, I’ve been hurting all along. [Chorus] Why does it feel so far away? Why does my heart keep losing faith? I reach for something I can’t hold, Something that keeps slipping away. Why, oh why, does it have to be this hard? Why does every dream leave another scar? Maybe I’m not meant to understand tonight, Maybe I just have to trust the timing of my life. [Verse 2] Some nights, I can barely breathe, Too many thoughts I can’t release. I ask the silence for an answer, But all it gives me is a memory. I’ve walked through storms I never chose, Carried wounds nobody knows. Still, somewhere underneath the pain, There’s a little hope I can’t let go. [Pre-Chorus] I keep holding on, Even when the night feels long. Maybe every tear I cry Is teaching me to become strong. [Chorus] Why does it feel so far away? Why does my heart keep losing faith? I reach for something I can’t hold, Something that keeps slipping away. Why, oh why, does it have to be this hard? Why does every dream leave another scar? Maybe I’m not meant to understand tonight, Maybe I just have to trust the timing of my life. [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall… I know I’ll rise again. If I cry, let me cry… These tears won’t be the end. Maybe what I’m chasing Is not meant to come today. Maybe the longest road Is leading me the better way. [Final Chorus] So why does it feel so far away? When I’ve given everything I had to give. Maybe life is asking me To learn how to love, how to lose, how to live. And if tomorrow brings another rain, I’ll let it wash away the pain. I may not know where this road will go… But I’ll keep moving forward, Even when I’m walking slow. [Outro — R&B Ad-libs] Why… why… why… Does it feel so far away? Mmm… I’m still holding on… Still holding on… Maybe someday… I’ll understand.
