[Verse 1]
Rain took the color off my hands
Left my name in the sand
I stood there with my shoes in the flood
Trying to hold what I could
[Verse 2]
You said my heart was made of glass
Now I'm learning how fast
A good thing can turn into scars
When the water gets past the door
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept calling out
Into the dark
But the river just answered
With a break in my heart
[Chorus]
Why me, why me
Washed me away
Why me, why me
Crying my soul out today
I said why me
Tell me what I did
Why me, why me
When I was only trying to live
[Verse 3]
Now the floorboards still smell like rain
And your picture don't feel the same
I wipe my face with a shaking hand
Like I can start again
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept calling out
Into the dark
But the river just answered
With a break in my heart
[Chorus]
Why me, why me
Washed me away
Why me, why me
Crying my soul out today
I said why me
Tell me what I did
Why me, why me
When I was only trying to live
[Bridge]
If I bent, I did not break
I'm still here in the wake
If you find me in the wreck
Hold my name and don't forget
[Chorus]
Why me, why me
Washed me away
Why me, why me
Crying my soul out today
I said why me
Tell me what I did
Why me, why me
When I was only trying to live
