I Don't Know Why

I don't know why
I was just younger then
Seemed like everything
Would be explained
I told myself I'd
Turn the tide around
My friends and I
Would break the chain

We're doing things
We swore we'd never do
Running around
Erasing every clue
Doing the things
We swore we'd never do
Look at what's been happening
It's happening to you

So much we hoped for
Went up in flames
I guess the smoke
Got in my eyes
Can perfect passion
Stand the light of day
These things I know
Can I realize
