Why must I be the one
To feel your pain?
When you made a mistake
why do I have to pay?
Why did I decide to go
to that party?
Why did I let you drive me home?
I knew that you were drunk and I went
And for that mistake
I guess I have to pay
So now I have one
answer for myself
Take a look and stop asking why
Oh why oh why
Did I go with you when I knew
You were driving drunk?
Why do I have to be crippled
And owe fees I can never pay!
So I want you to pay for them and you ask why you have to
Take a look and stop asking why
Take a look and stop asking why
Boy, stop feeling sorry for yourself
Boy, stop feeling sorry for yourself
Iím the one who will never
leave this wheelchair
Money is all that means anything to you
I bet youíre not even sorry about this
My house was only a few blocks away
I thought that we could make it even with you
drunk
Now all I do is ask myself why
Take a look and stop asking why
Asking why
Oh why oh why
Did I go with you when I knew
You were driving drunk?
Why do I have to be crippled
And owe fees I can never pay!
So I want you to pay for them
And you ask why you have to all you do
Is think about yourself when Iím the one who
has to live like this!
Boy, stop feeling sorry for yourself
I could tell the police about you
and get you to pay dearly for driving drunk
I could tell the police about you
and get you to pay dearly for driving drunk that night
But what would that do to help?
But what would that do to help my injuries?
Surely you must feel bad
Surely you must feel bad for ruining my life!
I could tell the police about you
and get you to pay dearly for driving drunk that night
But what would that do to help my injuries?
Surely you must feel bad for ruining my life!
Boy, stop feeling sorry for yourself
Why must I be the one
To feel your pain?
