Why is it hard to commit to something?
Why is it painful to let go of something?
Why is it that something always rules us?
Why is it that we’re always going to be helpless?
Why?
Why can’t we just move on past emotions and live monotone?
Why can’t we just ignore imperfection and live perfect to get over the pain of always trying to be better?
Why are there so many why’s in the world?
I just wish I knew why.

It's about all the why's in the world and why they matter so much to us even though sometimes we don't want them to.
