Why Oh Why Am I This Way? lyrics
by John Gallagher, Jr.
Why, oh, why am I this way?
Why do I do such foolish things all the time?
Drink myself blind, make mistakes all through the night
Wake up with blood in my eyes
But don't remember holding the knife
New York City, yeah, I'm looking at you
Your bars are open too damn late
I should go back to L.A, shut myself away
I do believe it's the only way to keep everybody safe
Listen, honey, no, you don't understand
My touch comes with a curse
It might feel alright, at least for a little while
But by the time we say goodbye
I'm probably just about to ruin your life
Nobody loves me, at least that's how it feels
No, don't tell me who does
Cause a woman I know, I can't say for sure
I think she might help me
To believe again in love that's pure
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Tell me. Why, oh, why?
Oh, why, oh, why
Oh, why, oh, why am I this way? Why?
