Lyrics

Sometimes things don't work out like the way I planned

Sometimes, plans do not unfold as anticipated.

Most times I destroy every good thing in my life

Often, I ruin positive aspects in my life.

Most times I expect the worst from all and everything

Most times, I anticipate negative outcomes from everything.

I've tried but I failed while making the attempt

Despite attempts, I have failed in my endeavors.


And she wonders why I make a mess of things that I possess

I create chaos with the things I own, causing confusion.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

My fear of good things happening leads to destructive behavior.

She wonders why I purposely let things slip through my hands

Intentionally, I let valuable things slip away due to my fear.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

My fear prevents me from allowing positive events in my life.


Excuses in place of accepting consequence

I make excuses instead of facing the consequences of my actions.

In fear of knowing what it is I really have

Out of fear, I avoid recognizing the true value of what I possess.

And I question whether you're sincere in how you feel

I doubt the sincerity of others' feelings towards me.

In time you'll forget that I ever exist

Over time, people will forget about my existence.


And she wonders why I make a mess of things that I possess

My fear continues to disrupt my possessions and relationships.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

Fear hinders me from embracing positive occurrences.

And she wonders why can't accept life positive aspects

I struggle to accept the positive aspects of life.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

Fear prevents me from welcoming good things into my life.


A battle to the death

Life feels like a constant struggle, a battle to maintain happiness.

The king of masochist

I perceive myself as someone who enjoys suffering.

Why should I always have to fight myself to regain happiness

Questioning why I must always fight against myself for happiness.


And she wonders why I make a mess of things that I possess

Continued struggle and fear impact my possessions and relationships.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

Fear of positive outcomes influences my actions.

A she wonders why I focus on the things that have gone wrong

I focus on the negative aspects, dwelling on what went wrong.

'cause I'm afraid of good things happening

Fear prevents me from embracing positive occurrences.


Are good things happening?

A contemplation on whether positive things are currently happening.

Are good things happening?

A repetition of the question, emphasizing uncertainty about positive events.

Are good things happening?

A repeated inquiry into the existence of positive occurrences.
