Rooney - Why? Lyrics

i've only driven a hundred miles since you've gone
and i've only given my energy away
when i meet a newbie i slowly crack and spill the past
i realize this is phony but there is so much love

why? try?

the suits, they tried to claim that
everything he won was theirs
but mother read the files
and saved the name he shed

why?
why? try? because i can't go on without you
since you've passed away

when i'm turning japanese
i always think you're mad at me
but i am no conformist
i just like to free my troops
like to free my troops

why?
why? try? cause i can't go on without you
since you've passed away
