    We 
    lost 
    Verse 1
    his 

    father 
    while 
    serving 
    this 
    country 

    This 
    is 
    a 
    subject 
    he 
    nev

    er 
    under
    stood 

    Then 
    why 
    do 
    we 
    live 
    here 
    in 
    pover
    ty, 

    in 
    this 
    rundown 
    neigh
    bor
    hood? 

    He 
    always 
    says, 
    why 
    me? 

    Mom, 
    I 
    know 
    you 
    taught 
    me 
    right, 

    why 
    me? 

    But 
    you seem 
    to 
    stay 
    uptight, 

    why 
    me? 

    The 
    answer's 
    never 
    easy, 

    but 
    still 
    you 
    try 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    please 
    me, 
    yeah 

    I 
    worked 
    two 
    jobs 
    to 
    keep 
    food 
    on 
    the 
    table, 

    noth
    ing 
    he 
    needed 
    was 
    enough 

    Night 
    after 
    night 
    I 
    wondered 
    how 
    would I 
    be 
    able, 

    to 
    keep 
    the truth 
    from 
    him 
    when 
    he's 
    so 
    dissat
    isfied, 
    all 
    the 
    time 
    he 
    can
    't 

    Why 
    me? 

    Why 
    do 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    live 
    this 
    way? 

    Why 
    me? 

    There 
    has to 
    be 
    a 
    better 
    day 

    Why 
    me? 

    If 
    I 
    only 
    had 
    my 
    dad 

    This 
    country 
    on 
    me, 

    they'd 
    take 
    it 
    as 
    a 
    hat 

    Yeah 

    It 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    too 
    much 
    for 
    him 

    My 
    phone 
    rang 
    late 
    one 
    night 

    I 
    recall 
    a 
    saying 

    Ma 'am, 
    we got 
    your 
    boy 
    down 
    here 

    The 
    truth 
    was 
    coming 
    to 
    the 
    light 

    He 
    said 
    they 
    took 
    my 
    dad 
    and 

    now 
    I've 
    taken 
    from 
    them 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    think 
    that's 
    a 
    crime 

    My 
    heart 
    was 
    heavy 
    as 
    I 
    cried 
    after 
    him 

    Son, 
    can 
    you forgive 
    me? 

    I've 
    been 
    lying 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    I 
    thought 
    I 
    was 

    God 
    and 
    what 
    was 
    mine 

    Why 
    me? 

    I 
    did 
    all 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    do 

    Why 
    me? 

    I 
    wanted 
    to 
    spare 
    this 
    all 
    from 
    you 

    Why 
    me? 

    I 
    might 
    die 
    and 
    go 
    to 
    hell, 

    but 
    I 
    told 
    a 
    lie 

    Your 
    dad 
    is 
    in 
    jail, 
    why 
    me? 

    You 
    just 
    don't 
    understand, 
    why 
    me? 

    I 
    lost 
    my 
    son 
    and 
    my 
    land, 
    why 
    me? 

    All 
    this 
    life 
    I 
    have 
    pretended 

    Now 
    just 
    look 
    at 
    me 
    and 
    you'll 

    see 
    how 
    it's 
    ended 

    Why 
    me? 

    Why 
    did 
    it all 
    happen 
    to 
    me? 

    Why 
    me? 

    You got 
    me 
    here 
    in 
    misery 

    Why 
    me? 
    I 
    can
    't 
    even 
    go 
    as 
    planned 

    When 
    I 
    look 
    at 
    this, 
    give 
    me to 
    stay 
    in 
    jail 

    Why 
    me? 
    I 
    got 
    no 
    reason 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    Why 
    me? 
    I 
    gotta 
    live 
    my 
    life 
    alone 

    Why 
    me? 

    It 
    was the 
    truth 
    I 
    never 
    punished 

    But 
    now 
    it's 
    me, 

    I'm 
    the 
    one 
    who's 
    being 
    punished 

    Why 
    me? 

    Tell 
    me, 
    why 
    me? 

    Why 
    me, 

    Outro 1
    Lord?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
