"How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean"

These questions on my mind
How did this happen, and what does it now mean?
How can I understand
In the aftermath of what just I saw?

Who should I blame
Was it my fault?
Can you see what we've created

Was it the moon?
Was it fate?
I'll find out later

These questions on my mind
How did this happen, and what does it now mean?

No certainties in this short life of smoke and mirrors
Trying to find some good advice
But nothing's offered
What were the motives?
What action pressured you into causing this much pain?

I never worried
I never thought that you would hurt my heart now
We are not broken, but we're flawed
Hold on
Where's that version of ourselves
That we held dear, that was so precious
In our world, in our hearts?

These questions on my mind
How did this happen, and what does it now mean?
How can I understand
In the aftermath of what I just saw?

Who should I blame?
Was it my fault?
I'll find out later
What were the motives?
What action pressured you into causing this much pain?

These questions on my mind
These questions on my mind
These questions on my mind
These questions on my mind
