Why

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 kind of trouble's only just begun"

I tell myself too many times

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

Keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me

Why?

Why?

I may be mad, may be blind, may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're 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 those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out

Turning inside out

Tell me

Why?

Why?

Tell me

Why

Why?

This is the book I never read

These are the words I never said

This is the path I'll never tread

These are the dreams I'll dream instead

This is the joy that's seldom spread

These are tears we shed

This is the fear, this is the dread

These are the contents of my head

These are the years that we have spent

This is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel?

I don't think you know how I feel

'Cause I don't think you how what I fear

Why?

Why?

(do you know what I fear?)

Why?

Why?

('Cause I don't think you know what I fear)

Why?

(you don't know)

'Cause I don't think you know what I fear

You don't know what I fear
