Why Not Me

I'm watching my friends all succeed Honestly, they deserve it But I'm selfishly over here asking "Why not me?" We're all driving to the same place I'm just stuck in the slow lane I impatiently wait while they pass me Why not me? When I'm down, I'm biting the dust A little voice is shouting, "get up" 'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off Dig down deep and say Why not me? With the odds up against me I'm not gonna let me down Can't stop me Might be down for the count But don't you ever count me out I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame Dig down deep, say, "why not me?" Fixated, I sharpen my teeth Underdogs getting hungry I've been biding my time, I've been waiting Hide and seek, what I'm missing The thoughts of me giving up fade away 'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated That's when I say, "why not me?" When I'm down, I'm biting the dust A little voice is shouting, "get up" 'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off Dig down deep and say Why not me? With the odds up against me I'm not gonna let me down Can't stop me Might be down for the count, but Don't you ever count me out I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame Dig down deep, say "why not me?" Yeah Hide and seek, what I'm missing The thoughts of me giving up fade away 'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated That's when I say (when I say, when I say) Why not me? With the odds up against me I'm not gonna let me down Can't stop me Might be down for the count, but Don't you ever count me out I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame Dig down deep, say, "why not me?" Yeah Why not me? Yeah --- Why Not Me - Set It Off
