You watched me go, You never cared that you left me alone
And every time I called you, You never picked up the phone
Sometimes it makes me wonder, Who will be there for her
And then somehow I see, Her living a better life


Torn from everything, Everything I believe
I'm suffering pain, It's breaking me down
It's more than I can take


Why do we care, How everyone else lives
Why do we compare, Our lives to those here
It's like we're never satisfied, We never get our fill
More tends to be the answer, Even makes us want
to steal


Why can I not go far from this place
Why can't I not leave when the problem surrounds me
Why can I not go far from this place
Why can't I not leave
