Why Did I

When you do something bad, do you ever want to hide?

(Oh, yeah, oh yeah, like the time I lied)

When you do something wrong, do you ever want to cry?

(Oh my god, I hurt a friend and cried and cried)

Do you ever have regrets and then you wonder why? (Wonder why, wonder why)

When I wish I hadn’t done it, I ask, oh, why did I (Why did I)

Why did I do that? What did I just say?

What was I thinking? Is there a better way?

I’ll contemplate reasons for my thoughts, words, and my deeds

So next time, I’ll be a wiser, better version of me

The road to self-discovery requires honesty (Oh yeah, oh yeah, honesty)

My friends can be a mirror and reflect objectively (Oohh)

I may not like what I see when my motives are revealed (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

But I gain self-knowledge so the hurt can all be healed (It’ll all be healed)

Why did I do that? What did I just say?

What was I thinking? Is there a better way?

I’ll contemplate reasons for my thoughts, words, and my deeds

So next time, I’ll be a wiser, better version of me

Why did I? Why did I? Why did I?

I’m taking time to think about it with humility

Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I

Need the power of insight to be a better me

Why did I do that? What did I just say?

What was I thinking? Is there a better way?

I’ll contemplate reasons for my thoughts, words, and my deeds

So next time, I’ll be a wiser, better version of me
