Birds sing for everyone but me for me it rains

And I can't hear the music for the pain

I see such happiness for some but not for me



With love I always try so hard to get it right

I find it gone just when I think I might

Regretfully I see it last for some but not for me



Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold

I've come to just accept that's how it goes

I've come so close

Not for me it's not for me to question I suppose

But I keep wondering what the future holds

Why must it be

That life's so sweet for some but not for me not for me

Birds sing for everyone but me for me it rains

And I can't hear the music for the pain

I see such happiness for some but not for me

For me it rains there's only pain it's not for me
