Left to Wonder Why

Intro

Ridin' down a country road, on a Tennessee bus

Sittin' four seats from the front, feelin' like a fuss

Got my instrument case, and my heart on my sleeve

Thinkin' 'bout a city boy, and the way he used to be

Verse

We'd talk about our dreams, and the music we adore

He'd sit with me at lunch, and we'd laugh some more

But now he's sittin' with my best friend, and I'm feelin' alone

The bus bullies, they just won't leave me be, callin' me fat, and ugly, and useless, oh-oh

Chorus

Hey, hey, why'd you have to go, and leave me here to cry?

Hey, hey, I thought our friendship would never die

But now you're gone, and I'm left to wonder why

You're hangin' with my best friend, and I'm left to ask the sky

Verse

I'm a band girl, through and through, I love the way it feels

To march in precision, and play my heart out, and reveal

My passion for the music, and the way it sets me free

But the bullies, they just don't understand, they say I'm weird, and ugly, and they laugh at me

Verse

There's a girl, a brat, who loves to cause a scene

She wrote our names on the window, and showed him my journal, oh what a shame

She thinks it's funny, but it's just plain mean

Now he won't even look at me, and I'm left to feel like a fool, yeah

I'm sittin' here, feelin' sad, and blue, and alone

The bus bullies, they're sittin' next to me, and they won't leave me be, na-na

I'm just a country girl, with a heart that's true

But it's hard to keep on smilin', when the ones you love, are gone, and they're through with you, uh-huh
