I wonder why
We do the things we do.
I'm sitting here asking myself,
Do you wonder, too?
Do you ever ask
Why we hurt and cry?
Do you ever question
Why we cheat and lie?
These are the things
That constantly haunt my mind.
If you peel away a thoughtful mask,
What exactly will you find?
People can be ruthless,
Not caring what they say.
They'll knock down any other
Who will stand and block their way.

I wonder why
We do the things we do.
I'm sitting here asking myself,
Do you wonder, too?
Do you ever ask
Why we hurt and cry?
Do you ever question
Why we cheat and lie?
These are the things
That constantly haunt my mind.
If you peel away a thoughtful mask,
What exactly will you find?
People can be ruthless,
Not caring what they say.
They'll knock down any other
Who will stand and block their way.
