Why So Serious - Alice Merton

When did we forget

All the crazy things that made us feel so part of it?

Our youth, so confident

We played our heartstrings

Not caring if it ends

Try to learn to let go of all those things that tie you down

Get rid of it, the voice inside that tells me that

I’m scared, yeah, scared as shit

But I wanna let go of it now

So someone tell me

Why so serious?

Why are we so serious?

Oh, why so serious?

When did we get like this?

I still remember we weren’t grown up like this

Oooh, oh

I don’t seem to get all the things that are happening

And I can’t make sense of everything that’s inside my head

But I keep on thinking, there’s gotta be something said

Oh, seems we’ve lost it

That spark inside that tells us it’s all nonsense

Stop being so cautious

With every mistake there comes a lesson learned

So someone tell me

Why so serious?

(Serious)

Why are we so serious?

Oh, why so serious?

(Serious)

When did we get like this?

I still remember we weren’t grown up like this

Oooh, oh

Why so serious?

(Serious)

Why are we so serious?

Oh, why so serious?

(Serious)

Can someone tell me

Did we forget about

Living with no regrets?

Oooh, oh

I wanna live in the now

I’m not gonna live in the past

Don’t wanna care about what-ifs

'Cause what if those things don’t last?

And I wanna live with no regrets

I wanna live in the now

I’m not gonna live in the past

Don’t wanna care about what-ifs

'Cause what if those things don’t last?

And I wanna live with no regrets

So someone tell me

Why so serious?

Why so serious?

(Serious)

Why are we so serious?

Oh, why so serious?

(Serious)

When did we get like this?

I still remember we weren’t grown up like this

Oooh, oh

Why so serious?

(Serious)

Why are we so serious?

Oh, why so serious?

(Serious)

Can someone tell me

Did we forget about

Living with no regrets?
