Why did you have to go? Why did you have to be you? And do the things you always do Each time it hurts inside The things you say The games you play Makes me feel like my heart had died Just like my world fell in around me Tears found me Abandoned and they drowned me Life is often a roller coaster ride You slide You hit the bottom hard You have to run away and hide But you gotta sit up Shake yourself down Start your life again And see the funny side Here's a little song To help the pain along Come on and sing now Tragedy Take a look and see I'm laughing in the face of adversity And like the need to sing a song I need a little hurt to get along Tragedy Take a look and be A survivor in the face of adversity And like the need to sing a song I need a little hurt to make me strong I've tasted love Love comes and goes I've cried the tears The tears have flowed I felt the world had dragged me down Not a single friend around I needed time I needed help I had to find the strength myself Sometimes I walked the path of regret The sun came out shining But I still got wet I could have had a drink or two A pill to numb the blues But I hung on for the ride in time To see the funny side And now I sing Tragedy Take a look at me I'm laughing in the face of adversity And like the need to sing a song I need a little hurt to get along Tragedy Take a look and be A survivor in the face of adversity And like the need to sing a song I need a little hurt to make me strong
