Lyrics

Chorus

I don't know, I just don't know

How this world operates

To see that good men die

I don't know, I just don't know

Why can't people see it's okay to cry

To feel, to love

What's in the air, what's up above

Why can't we all just cooperate

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Verse 2

Is it pride or is it fate

That always puts us in our place

Building walls we can't break

Trading hearts we won't retrace

Pre-Chorus

Don’t you feel it heavy sometimes

The way we hide from open eyes

Hoping someday it realigns

Hoping we can realize

Chorus

I don't know, I just don't know

How this world operates

To see that good men die

I don't know, I just don't know

Why can't people see it's okay to cry

To feel, to love

What's in the air, what's up above

Why can't we all just cooperate

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Bridge

Looking out my window late at night

Questions circle, tired eyes

All these stories left behind

How do we find the will to try

Pre-Chorus

Sometimes the silence feels so loud

Wish we could turn it all around

Start building on common ground

Maybe we can figure it out

Chorus

I don't know, I just don't know

How this world operates

To see that good men die

I don't know, I just don't know

Why can't people see it's okay to cry

To feel, to love

What's in the air, what's up above

Why can't we all just cooperate

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh

Outro

Some nights it weighs on me, I can't pretend

Searching for reasons I don't comprehend

Still asking questions, still wanting more

Looking for kindness behind every door

Maybe the answers drift like a breeze

Blowing through branches, never at ease

If we could open up, if we could stay true

Maybe the world would feel brand new

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
