Fuzz and Mac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody tell me why
Somebody tell me why
Why I gotta feel this pain
Somebody tell me why
Why
Mom and Dad
Why they gotta stay fighting
When they gotta put they hands on me
Lord I turn to ya writings
I only get by
Cause I know that
I have you in my heart
I don’t know why
Why it always be like this
Drama constantly and dad resorting to his fist
And mom nitpicking always seem to start a fight
Dad just can’t let it go
He always gotta be right
Dad
Why you gotta turn to the bottle
Can you not focus on us
Liquors always been your idol
When it seems to be to much
I hear the threats that one gone leave em
All I ever wonder is
Who gone take me wit em
But I doubt it ever happens
Always felt like an afterthought
Except for when ya need a release and hit me in a hidden spot
Have you ever once
Thought about your own child
About his needs and his wants
I swear its been a long while
Now im hiding in this closet and i'm trying to escape
All the hurt and all the pain
Arguing and the hate
Lord help me make it through
It's been a long rough night
I'll keep my eyes on you
Know you’ll turn the dark to the light
Somebody tell me why
Somebody tell me why
Why I gotta feel this pain
Somebody tell me why
Why
Mom and Dad
Why they gotta stay fighting
When they gotta put they hands on me
Lord I turn to ya writings
I only get by
Cause I know that
I have you in my heart
I don’t know why
Why I always open up
Cause every time I do
It's like that opening gets cut
Betrayed is how I feel
Who I trust with these issues
When Home's a living hell
No-one at school plays with you
Teachers think I'm a bad kid
Don’t know what I’ve been dealt
Don't know what it's like to be beat on
By the ones that gave ya breath
How ya press forward
When pain comes without a warning
So I long for night time
Cause joy comes in the morning
Lord I need you more
Than I ever have before
Because I hear a knock knock
Lord its CPS at my door
They wanna take me
And I know i'll be in good hands
But I don’t wanna leave home
Lord I trust in your plan
So take this hurt and all my pain
Lord mend my heart
And do the same for my parents
Lord give us a new start
My rough night is looking up
It’s better days ahead
It’s all because of you I’m alive not dead
Somebody tell me why
Somebody tell me why
Why I gotta feel this pain
Somebody tell me why
Why
Mom and Dad
Why they gotta stay fighting
When they gotta put they hands on me
Lord I turn to ya writings
I only get by




Cause I know that
I have you in my heart
