Why Always Me

[Intro]
Why me
Why me, yeah
Why me
(why me, why me)
[Verse 1]
Woke up hurt, same story, same ceiling
Same cracked paint, same hollow feeling
Scroll through wins that I never get to keep
Everybody shining, I’m just losing sleep
Mama say pray, but I’m praying in the dark
Say there’s a plan, but it’s pulling me apart
Every little hope get folded, burned
Every lesson feel like I ain’t learned
[Chorus]
Why always me
Why I gotta bleed just to breathe
Why I gotta carry all this weight on my chest
Like I’m built for the stress, like I’m made for the mess
Why I feel pain
Like my name spelled out in rain
Why I gotta live on the edge of the fight
Why I always, why I always
Why always me
[Verse 2]
Friends turned fake, now the room got colder
Love turned hate when the truth got told, yeah
Trust fall—land right on the floor
They said “I got you,” then they closed that door
Look in the mirror, who’s that in my place
Eyes so tired, can’t recognize my face
They say “it gets better,” but it’s been so long
If I’m so strong, why I feel so wrong
[Chorus]
Why always me
Why I gotta bleed just to breathe
Why I gotta carry all this weight on my chest
Like I’m built for the stress, like I’m made for the mess
Why I feel pain
Like my name spelled out in rain
Why I gotta live on the edge of the fight
Why I always, why I always
Why always me
[Bridge]
Is there a reason, is there a sign
Or am I just screaming into the sky
If there’s a lesson inside this life
Why does it feel like a losing fight (yeah)
[Chorus]
Why always me
Why I gotta bleed just to breathe
Why I gotta carry all this weight on my chest
Like I’m built for the stress, like I’m made for the mess
Why I feel pain
Like my name spelled out in rain
Why I gotta live on the edge of the fight
Why I always, why I always
Why always me (why me)
(why me, why me)

rap, Moody trap-pop with male vocals; minor-key keys over airy pads, tight hi-hats, and a deep, steady kick. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, light autotune on the top melodies; hook explodes with layered chant-style backs and a brighter synth lead. 808s swell in the second hook, last chorus strips to piano, ad-libs floating in reverb for a vulnerable fade., hip hop, pop
