How do you fix something that's broken? 
How do you love something that's cracked? 
How do you live when you're broken, 
How do you never look back? 

Why do I question everything? 
Why do I torment myself with hurtful thoughts? 
Why do I choose to remember? 
Why do I reinforce my fears with these mental assaults? 

When did this start? 
When did this self-hatred become a part of my heart? 
When did my flaws stop being mere inconveniences? 
When did I start to fall apart? 

Where were you, when this happened?
Where were you, when I needed you most?
Where were you, when I needed a friend?
Where were you, when I was first diagnosed?

What am I supposed to do, when I've been put in this perilous situation?
What am I supposed to do, when I've got no way to stay?
What am I supposed to do, defy every expectation?
What am I supposed to do, when the doctors say "You only have about ten days"?

How do I go on?
How do I keep living, keep singing along?
How do I live to see another day dawn?
How do I continue to fight? Even my body has given up on me, tonight.

Why did this happen to me?
Why did I get this strange disease?
Why can't it be treated?
Why do I have to die?
