Suffering, stewing in all of this anguish Why am I forced to just continue beating down myself Standards forcing me to raise expectation Am I too shallow for my own good? The problem I have Is me Why can't I have what I yearn for? Desire eludes me Never satisfied What will quench my? Thirst for more than my world Can provide for me Is it a tragedy that I drink water? 'Stead of wine Such a game that my minds playing on me Shooting down who may be the perfect one Contest what's right For me Why can't I have what I yearn for? Desire eludes me Never satisfied What will quench my thirst? I'm sifting through the sands again To find the meaning Why is it so hard to find? The wisdom that eludes I'm sifting through the sands again To find the meaning Am I ever going to find? The solution that escapes me Someone please give me the answer Someone please ask the question why? Someone please give me the answer Someone please ask the question why? Someone please give me the answer To the question Why won't you tell me why? Someone please give me the answer To the question Why can't I have what I yearn for? Desire eludes me Never satisfied What will quench my thirst?
