Why

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this trouble's only just begun

I tell myself too many times
Why don't you learn to keep your mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why

Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking

What you are thinking
What are you thinking?

I've heard it said too many times
You'd be better off

Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
This boat is sinking

Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away these doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out

Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

You tell me...
This is the book I never read
The words I never said
The path I'll never tread
And the dreams I'll dream instead
Joy seldom spread
The tears that we shed
The fear
The dread
And the contents inside my head
These are the years we spent
This is what they represent
This is how I feel
Do you even know how I feel?
'cause if you know, I don't think you know how I feel
How can you know, you never asked me
Why...
Why...
