"Why?" was written 2 months after the end of a relationship I had my Freshman year of high school.
The songs lyrics are made up with questions and memories that I had stuck in my head weeks
after the break up. The song helped me get over the break up, and it also sparked my solo career.
After I performed the song at my schools talent show I saw several classmates quote the song lyrics
on Twitter, Facebook, IG, e.t.c.. So I was really inspired to write more. #Why..NotWriteMore?

lyrics

Intro:
Why is the question that I ask myself
Why did everything fall in place this way?
It’s not as if I wanted you to go your separate way
But now I sit here broken hearted, and you’re to blame

Verse:
I remember the first time that I saw you
You were sitting in the corner with your friends like you used to
I didn’t have, much to say
Only knew that you’d be on my mind for the rest of my day
And sure enough, as I sit here, you’re all that’s on my mind
But I won’t forget those memories, I promise you that i’ll keep them
Very close to me
But for now, all that I can think of is

Chorus:
My oh my oh how time flies
Sometimes I still wish you were by my side
But then I realize that there’s reason why you’re gone
And if those reasons are to be, your get away from the feelings you
Have for me, then you can run as far as you want
Because since the last time you said goodbye, I’ve had time to realise that
You are gone, and it’s time for me to move on

Verse:
Now that i sit here broken hearted
Everything that reminds me of you just wears me down
Cause every time that I hear your name
I think of everything that you used to say
But now that there’s no longer speaking nor feelings between us
All that we had, has gone to waste
But I still don’t know what to say, Don’t know who to talk to
You’re the only one who’s understood all that i’ve gone through

Chorus:
My oh my oh how time flies
Sometimes I still wish you were by my side
But then I realize that there’s reason why you’re gone
And if those reasons are to be, your get away from the feelings you
Have for me, then you can run as far as you want
Because since the last time you said goodbye, I’ve had time to realise that
You are gone, and it’s time for me to move on

Outro:
So please tell me everything that's on your mind
And I'll tell you everything that's on mine
Cause even though we've gone our separate ways
There's still a part of me that wishes that you'd of stayed
