(verse)
He enters the white of a cold sterile room
An all too familiar scene, look, and mood
He listens to doctors as they justify
The reason he wont live to see 25
He fights back the tears as he asks why
(chorus)
He watched as his peers can plan their dreams
While he's left to ask "Why this happened to me?"
"What have I done that my life shall not be?"
"Why now? Why me?"
(verse)
And now he must plan down to his final hour
What must he accomplish and take; carry out
Friends say he'll be fine but what do they know?
His heart races now is he to die alone
He chokes on the pain as he asks why.
(chorus)
He watched as his peers can plan their dreams
While he's left to ask "Why this happened to me?"
"What have I done that my life shall not be?"
"Why now? Why me?"
(bridge)
These are the stages of grief
These are the stages of grief
These are the stages of grief
These are the stages of grief
We choke on the pain as we ask why
(chorus)
He watched as his peers can plan their dreams
While he's left to ask "Why this happened to me?"
"What have I done that my life shall not be?"
"Why now? Why me?"
