Maximilian Goll - Why? Lyrics

An eternal search for a reason
Still my eyes are longing 'though I already got
What others are never reaching
But still I end up with raising the bar to
Hate the bits I'm missing
Even if I win, I'm just seeing my loss
Keep your praise, I'm not even listening
If only I could be as blind as you for my faults

Show me

A way to enlighten this mystery
How could I be broken? Look, I'm fully intact!
Surrounded by a wonderful family
Why would I detest the legacy I've built up?
'Cause for a long time I've been dreaming
But instead of investing I just wasted my time
And now, awaked, I'm grieving
Forever asking "what if" while I'm overrun by time

Tell me

Why am I always seeing flaws
In all this beauty my life has brought?
An ice cold breeze in this loving heat
Tell me a reason, tell me...
Why is my smile fading sometimes?
Could it be that I'm living a lie?
Why do I feel so numb inside?
Give me a reason, tell me why

Never ever
Deserved something better
Broke to my knees,
Still the fight is unending
Demons inside
I cannot get rid of
Predestined to fail
No matter how hard I try

But when I'm close to breaking
When I tend to wither inside
There are always hands that lift me
That bear me through my darkest times

Show me

Why am I always seeing flaws
In all this beauty my life has brought?
An ice cold breeze in this loving heat
Tell me a reason, tell me...
Why is my smile fading sometimes?
Could it be that I'm living a lie?
Why do I feel so numb inside?
Give me a reason, tell me

How could I've ever been so blind
For all the luck found in my life?
For all these moments you made me smile
Tell me a reason, tell me...
How did my self-doubts root so deep
Infest all my passion till all feels weak
But still you're reaching out to me
What is your reason, tell me why
