Why me, why now

Verse

Woke up to the yelling, walls shaking thin

Dad's keys on the table, gone before the end

Mom's eyes red-rimmed, staring at the floor

I swallow it down, like always before

Pre-chorus

Then you walked out, suitcase in your hand

Said "it's over boy, I can't understand"

Your goodbye kiss still burns on my skin

Now I'm holding wreckage, where do I begin

Chorus

Heartbreak crashing, family's tearing apart

Losing you both, ripping out my heart

Why me, why now (why now)

Drowning in the dark, can't even shout

Heartbreak crashing, family's falling down

No one's left to catch me when I hit the ground

Why me, why now (why now)

Just a broken boy, lost and profound

Verse

Nights I replay your voice on the phone

"we're too young, too messed up, better alone"

While downstairs the fights echo like thunder

Sis hides in her room, we all go under

I try to fix it, play the strong son role

But your ghost in my chest steals my soul

Chorus

Heartbreak crashing, family's tearing apart

Losing you both, ripping out my heart

Why me, why now (why now)

Drowning in the dark, can't even shout

Heartbreak crashing, family's falling down

No one's left to catch me when I hit the ground

Why me, why now (why now)

Just a broken boy, lost and profound

Bridge

(hold on) Wish I could call you back, make it right

(hold on) Tell Mom it's okay, Dad comes home tonight

But lies don't stick when the pain's this real

I'm screaming inside, nobody feels

(ta-ta-tear it up) All falling through my hands

Chorus

Heartbreak crashing, family's tearing apart

Losing you both, ripping out my heart

Why me, why now (why now)

Drowning in the dark, can't even shout

Heartbreak crashing, family's falling down

No one's left to catch me when I hit the ground

Why me, why now (why now)

Just a broken boy, lost and profound

Outro

Why me (why me), why now

Broken boy (broken boy), falling down

(oh-oh, down)
