Sometimes I have to wonder
How much you understand
Things aren't always as they seem
Including what's at hand
Your depth of understanding
Can only go so deep
And, you know, sometimes the seeds you sew
Are not the ones you reap
I look around me everyday
At all the people passing
I wonder why you're different to me
And I find myself still asking

Why the sun keeps setting
And rises up again
I don't have the strength to carry on
Since I can't remember when
Why the birds keep singing
I hear them far and near
But I still can't shake it, I feel me break
Inside, when you aren't here

Hook, line, sinker, I'm all caught up
When really I want to flee
Away from this, these fragile feelings
Taking over me
You tell me just to give it up
Give it to God, you say
But you don't understand, you see, I've tried
But He won't take it away
So, stop with your religion
Your constant earnest urging
Because I've talked to God and prayed like hell
Yet I find myself still searching

For why the sun keeps setting
And rises up again
I don't have the strength to carry on
Since I can't remember when
Why the birds keep singing
I hear them far and near
But I still can't shake it, I feel me break
Inside, when you aren't here
