Lyrics

How

I didn't come this far for you to make this hard for me

And now you want to ask me "how"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

Why did you come here?

You weren't invited

You were on the outside - Stay on the outside

And now you want to ask me "why"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and how do you cry?

How does your heart beat?

And there are some things that I'd like to figure out

There are some things that I can do without -

Like you, and your letters that go on forever

And you, and the people that were never friends

Never friends

Never friends

With all the things that you could be

You never could learn how to be me

And now you want to ask me "how"?

It's like - how does your heart beat, and why do you breathe?

How does your heart beat, and why do you breathe

How do you breathe
