Why?

Why?

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for all the things I've done?

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

That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me why?

Tell me why?

I may be mad

I may be blind

I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking, ahh

And I've heard it said too many times

That you'd be better off, besides

Why can't you see this boat is sinking?

Why can't you see this boat is sinking? (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?) (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?)

Why can't you see this boat is sinking? (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?) (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?)

Let's go down to the water's edge

So we can cast away those 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?

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 the tears, the tears we shed

This is the fear, and this is the dread

And these are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel?

‘Cause I don't think you know how I feel

I don't think you really know what I feel

I don't think you really know what I feel

This is how I feel

This is how I feel
