Don't Know Why

Verse 1

It wakes before I do

Sitting on my chest like a stone

I count to ten then twenty more

And still I can't explain the storm

My hands are calm my voice is low

But something underneath is burning slow

Pre-Chorus

I don't know where it starts

I don't know when it ends

It wears my face it knows my name

And calls itself my friend

Chorus

This anger lives inside my bones

It's been here so many times

Some days it screams some days it cries

And I don't know why

I don't know why

This anger keeps me up at night

And hides behind my smile

Half of it hurts half of it hides

And I don't know why

I don't know why

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Don't know why

Oh-oh oh-oh

Don't know why

Verse 2

My mother asked me how I've been

I said I'm fine I lied again

There's a fire with no flame

No match no spark no one to blame

Sometimes it feels like sadness dressed

In louder clothes a heavier chest

I push it down I let it rise

It's never wrong and never right

Pre-Chorus

I don't know where it starts

I don't know when it ends

It wears my face it knows my name

And calls itself my friend

Chorus

This anger lives inside my bones

It's been here so many times

Some days it screams some days it cries

And I don't know why

I don't know why

This anger keeps me up at night

And hides behind my smile

Half of it hurts half of it hides

And I don't know why

I don't know why

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Don't know why

Oh-oh oh-oh

Don't know why

Bridge

Maybe it's grief that never spoke

Maybe it's everything I broke

Maybe it's mine maybe it's not

Maybe it's all I've ever got

Chorus

This anger lives inside my bones

It's been here so many times

Some days it screams some days it cries

And I don't know why

I don't know why

This anger keeps me up at night

And hides behind my smile

Half of it hurts half of it hides

And I don't know why

I don't know why
