Why Always Me?

[Verse 1]
Spilled coffee?
Of course it’s on my shirt
Bus late?
Guess I’m blessed with extra hurt
If there’s one loose brick
On this whole damn street
My face will find it
Teeth first
So sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I sign up
For the clown-of-the-year plan?
Is there fine print
Tattooed on my hand?
[Chorus]
Why always me?
Did the universe lose a bet?
Did my name get stuck
On the dartboard of regret?
Line up the jokes
I’ll stand here patiently
If fate needs a punchline
It’s “why always me?”
[Verse 2]
Group chat
Plans a trip in July
They book
Somehow forget “that guy”
Tag me in the pics
From a place I’ve never been
“Wish you were here”
Yeah
That’d ruin the spin
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I was rude
In a past life
Accidentally
Kicked a wizard’s cat
Now it’s haunting me
[Chorus]
Why always me?
Did the universe lose a bet?
Did my name get stuck
On the dartboard of regret?
Line up the jokes
I’ll stand here patiently
If fate needs a punchline
It’s “why always me?”
[Bridge]
Congrats to the clouds
For following me again
Gold star to the rain
For timing it just then
Round of applause
For the traffic on my street
Encore
Encore
Till I’m on repeat (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Why always me?
Did the universe lose a bet?
Did my name get stuck
On the dartboard of regret?
If life’s a bad sitcom
At least I’m on TV
Cue laugh track
Roll credits
On “why always me?”

Dry, midtempo alt-pop with tight drums, rubbery bass, and crunchy rhythm guitars; male vocals lean deadpan in the verses then open up into a shout-along hook. Subtle synth swells in the pre-chorus, stacked gang vocals on the chorus for a snarky, stadium-sing vibe.
