A House - Why Me lyrics

rate me

Why me?

Why me?

This is a cruel and ruthless world

This is our world

This is everyone for themselves where bigger dogs eat smaller dogs over

lunch

Where there's always someone younger, cheaper and better than you

It's a game

In order to survive you must play

To succeed you must cheat

If you do you do not have the right to feel hard done by

If you don't you'll spend the rest of your life wondering why

Why me?

Why me indeed...

I ordered everything that my eyes could see

But you don't see the pitfalls when you're blinded by greed

I ordered things I could never afford

But I got much more than I bargained for

If I hadn't gone too far

If I didn't want to much

If I hadn't pushed too hard

Things could have been different for me

If I hadn't gone too far

If I didn't want to much

If I hadn't pushed too hard

Things could have been different for me

Sometimes our expectations are far too high

And we lead ourselves to believe that that love should be indestructible

When in fact love is the one thing that can completely destroy us

We think that we deserve to get more out than were willing to put in

We demand honesty, openness and loyalty

Which is more than we can bear live up to

So when love falls apart we feel that we're the only person in the world

this have ever happened to

Why me?

Why me indeed?

I took a chance and died in your arms

When you took me in and you smothered me with your charms

I bit off more than I could possibly chew

And I'd eaten my fill and was devoured by you

Why me indeed...

I ordered everything that my eyes could see

But you don't see the pitfalls when you're blinded by greed

I ordered things I could never afford

But I got much more than I bargained for

If I hadn't gone too far

If I didn't want to much

If I hadn't pushed too hard

Things could have been different for me

If I hadn't gone too far

If I didn't want to much

If I hadn't pushed too hard

Things could have been different for me

We cannot bear to admit defeat

We cannot take the pain

We are prepared to take the risks

And bask in the glory of our own success

We are not prepared to wallow in the depths of our inadequacies

So we look for someone else to blame

Why me indeed...

I took a chance and died in your arms

When you took me in and you smothered me with your charms

I bit off more than I could possibly chew

When I'd eaten my fill, I was devoured by you

Why me indeed...

I ordered everything that my eyes could see

But you don't see the pitfalls when you're blinded by greed

I ordered things I could never afford

But I got much more than I bargained for

If I hadn't gone too far

If I didn't want to much

If I hadn't pushed too hard

Things could have been different for me

Things should have been different for me
