Why Am I The One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got enough on my mind
That when she pulls me by the hair
She hasn't much to hold onto

She keeping count on her hand one, two, three days
That I been sleeping on my side

[Verse 2]
I finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps

Thinking about where I've been -
I mean the sun was never like this

I wanna feel with the season
I guess it makes sense

Cause my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles
And I just want to stay in bed

[Pre-Chorus]
And hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?

[Chorus]
Or go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come

Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
For once, for once, for once
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
[Chorus]
Or go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

Go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

For once, for once, for once
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?

[Outro]
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
I'll move back down

When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear a song
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear a song
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear a song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
