I wish to know
Why the wind blows colder when I step outside,
I wish to know
Why I feel people could pierce me with their eyes
As a little child
I don't know what to say when I feel it
But I wish to know

My steps all alone they hold no weight
And the memories pass by without ever holding me
As I go to a place where I don't wanna be all over again
How can I hold on another day?

I wish to know
Why your words hurt me like nobody else's
I wish to know
What went wrong for you to say that to me
As a little child
I haven't learned how not to cry when I feel it
But I wish to know

The black sheep opens the door for you to enter
My hands shake and sweat as I close it behind me
As I sit down next to someone I feel wouldn't look at me like I do at them
How can I hold another day?

But I want to know
Why I felt that way and why it happened that way and-
I want to know
How to go back rush in and hold myself close and say
"It's okay, but this ain't gonna change."
You need to learn how to-
Pitch black greets me all over again like the only friend I can afford to miss.

I wish to know
Why you look at me like you wish I were dead
I wish to know
Why you always leave me so disappointed
I wish to know
Is it because of you I feel the way I do?
Will anyone ever want to know me like this?
I wish to know, so tell me.
I wish to know.
