Why did you have to go?
|
Why did you have to be you?
|
And do the things you always do
|
Each time it hurts inside
|
The things you say
|
The games you play
|
Makes me feel like my heart had died
|
Just like my world fell in around me
|
Tears found me
|
Abandoned and they drowned me
|
|
Life is often a roller coaster ride
|
You slide
|
You hit the bottom hard
|
You have to run away and hide
|
But you gotta sit up
|
Shake yourself down
|
Start your life again
|
And see the funny side
|
Here's a little song
|
To help the pain along
|
Come on and sing now
|
|
Tragedy
|
Take a look and see
|
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
|
And like the need to sing a song
|
I need a little hurt to get along
|
Tragedy
|
Take a look and be
|
A survivor in the face of adversity
|
And like the need to sing a song
|
I need a little hurt to make me strong
|
|
I've tasted love
|
Love comes and goes
|
I've cried the tears
|
The tears have flowed
|
I felt the world had dragged me down
|
Not a single friend around
|
I needed time
|
I needed help
|
I had to find the strength myself
|
Sometimes I walked the path of regret
|
The sun came out shining
|
But I still got wet
|
I could have had a drink or two
|
A pill to numb the blues
|
But I hung on for the ride in time
|
To see the funny side
|
And now I sing
|
|
Tragedy
|
Take a look at me
|
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
|
And like the need to sing a song
|
I need a little hurt to get along
|
Tragedy
|
Take a look and be
|
A survivor in the face of adversity
|
And like the need to sing a song
|
I need a little hurt to make me strong
|
