Why Can’t I

[Verse 1]
Late nights, early days
Fighting to stay awake
Can’t seem to take a break
I want to run away
Feelings I can’t shake
Chains that I can’t break
Trying to separate
The peace leaves the stress it stays

[Chorus]
Why can’t I, get a hold of life?
Why can’t I, seem to get it right?
Why can’t I, get a hold of life?
Why can’t I, seem to get it right?

[Verse 2]
Tired of stressing
Can’t find a blessing
Sick of this guessing
This is my confession
That I am expressing
But no one’s addressing
Can’t take this aggression
That I keep suppressing
Can’t keep on fighting
Can’t keep denying
My body is crying
My soul it is dying
When the prayers go up
The blessings come down
I feel like I’m screaming
But don’t make a sound

[Chorus]
Why can’t I, get a hold of life?
Why can’t I, seem to get it right?
Why can’t I, get a hold of life?
Why can’t I, seem to get it right?

[Verse 3]
Feels like I’m stuck
I want to give up
Can’t change this bad luck
I think that I’m done
This was a long run
It barely begun
But there was no one
To help me hold on

[Outro]
Why can’t I, get a hold of life?
Why can’t I, seem to get it right?
