a million reasons why

I was supposed to be an adult
but the child in me won out
I looked you straight in the eyes
and asked what is this all about
you looked at the ground
you shuffled your feet
silence was your reply
now I've got a head full of questions
and a million reasons why

the old stomping ground was solitude
it's all I've ever known
I've always been by myself
it's been my only home
I thought someday I'd get my wings
and take off for the sky
now I'm left with a head full of questions
and a million reasons why
