Simple Plan - Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me)

I loved this song before I saw the video. I loved the desperation in Pierre Bouvier’s voice and the stripped down piano chords. I loved the honest and simple lyrics.

And then the video came out. And I became OBSESSED with the song. I mean…damn. It was one of those videos that just stops you in your tracks. I remember thinking that this was one of the most genius music videos I had ever watched when I first saw it. And to be honest with you, I still think its genius and incredibly underrated. Maybe its just me…but I found it kinda profound the way they showed everyone’s life literally being shaken during this one moment in time.

*sigh*

I’ll shut up and let ya’ll enjoy it now.

Simple Plan - Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me)

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
