"Never Know Why" lyrics

I wrote this song. Finally found the words that I've been missing
And I'm 'a sing 'em soft so you lean in and listen
To my soul that only knows the reason why
Make my actions retroactive. I'd go back and change the past if I could
Walk a different path. Forward. Never looking back
I would read all the signs, cover up the tracks
But it's time to move on, and it took so long to realize

That I'll never know why, never know why
Never know why, never know why
Never know why, never know why, never know why

I make music not to reach a destination
But to communicate emotions for which there's no explanation
See: I'm a dreamer. In my dreams, I believe
But I've been around enough to know that nothing's what it seems
Chasing stars, ambition almost killed me
We all ride the ups and the downs. Do you feel me?
Through hell and back, I made it just to lose it
And you don't know the half of it, but God knows I've been though it

I believe in something greater. I know there's a higher love
Still wanna leave the world behind a little better than it was
They're all just puzzle pieces when you're staring at forever
It's only looking back that the pieces fit together
A warrior: that's what it's made me
You can say what you like, but it's not gonna break me
'Cause when I look into the eyes of this baby boy who loves me
I think, "Damn! How'd I get so lucky?"

And I'll never know why, never know why
Never know why, never know why
Never know why, never know why, never know why
