[Verse 1] I don't know why It's so hard, too hard to grow up I keep falling, falling on my knees And all this bruises, blood, pain teaching me nothing But compared to what I felt for you This is nothing, honey, you should know I'd like to break my bones, to cut my flesh for you But well, the hell with it, I guess there's more to do Well the hell with it, I guess there's more [Verse 2] I don't know why It's so hard, too hard for you to give up You keep crying, begging on your knees And honey, even all the booze you drink is helping nothing But compared to what I would do to you This is nothing, love, 'cause you should know I'd like to hear you scream, to cut your throat Well the hell with it, I guess there's more, tell me [Chorus] Why Tell me why Tell me why Is it so hard to be like you [Verse 3] I don't know why it's so hard Too hard for me to shut up I keep wondering, pondering through your words And honey, even all the pills I eat are helping nothing But compared to what I'd like to do This is nothing, love, 'cause you should know I'd like to [inhales] the pain away Like it has been said in a song I heard today [Chorus] Why Tell me why Tell me why Is it so hard to be like you So hard to be like you So hard to be like you Is it so hard to be like you
