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?\"
