What they don't teach you at school

Why is 'i' before 'e' except after 'c'?
Why is the sky so blue?
Why do the stars shine so bright at night,
 but pale in comparison to the moon? 

And of all the wrong things that I have done,
   and all the wrong I've yet to do, why was I given
the chance to hurt,

 someone as beautiful as you?
