Wondering Me (Why Me) by Gloria Buono-Daly (2025)

*(Verse 1)*
No matter how I climb, I seem to fall.
Loved so much, loved them all
Yet they left me, left me small
Family supposed to make love strong
Birthdays forgotten, been so long
Wondering me, why me, what went wrong?

*(Pre-Chorus)*

High above, wind sings to me
“Things get better Glori B”
Sometimes bloodlines aren't that fine,
They cut like glass, cross the line.
Wondering me, why me, what did I do?
What did I ever do to deserve this too?

*(Chorus 1)*
It’s lonely being the one they left,
Blood runs cold when love’s a theft.
Still, beauty whispers through the pain,
In broken stone, wildflowers sustain
What did I ever do to deserve this?
I love much more for what they miss.

*(Verse 2)*
Sometimes when parents die
The house still, time unwinds,.
Hands once joined, now push away
Fighting over rings and silver trays
Sisters’ jealous stares, a brother can’t explain
Gossips and curses in my name
Wondering me, why me, are they INSANE ……… ?

*(Pre-Chorus)*
High above, wind sings to me
“Things get better Glori B”
Sometimes bloodlines aren't that fine,
They cut like glass, cross the line.
Wondering me, why me, what did I do?
What did I ever do to deserve this too?

*(Chorus)*
It’s lonely being the one they left, 

Blood runs cold when love’s a theft.

Still, beauty whispers through the pain, 

In broken stone, wildflowers sustain 

Their coldest hearts, my warmest gift, 

I love much more for what they miss.

*(Bridge)*

But in the hush, the colors rise,
Morning gold in endless skies.
No longer reaching, no more chase,
I’ve found my home in my own space.

*(final chorus/Outro)*
A wondering me but no way lost,
I stand where sorrow once had grown.
If they won’t love, if they won’t call,
I’ve found my way beyond it all,
Wondering me, why me, why this came to be?
There’s a reason things keep getting better Glori B

Things all better Glori …
