Why

How many times do I have to try to tell you

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

But every time I go to tell you

That's when you have to tell me

Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun

I told myself too many times

Why don't you 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 viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard it said too many times

That you'd be better off besides

Why can't you see that this boat is sinking

This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking

Let's go down to the water's edge

And we can cast away your doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out, turning inside out

Tell me why?

Tell me why?

This is the book I never read

And these are the words I never said

And this is the path I'll never tread

And these are the dreams I'll dream instead

And this is the joy that's seldom spread

And these are the tears, the tears we've shed

This is the fear

And this is the dread

And these are the contents of my head

These are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

This is how I feel

Do you know how I feel?

I don't think you know how I, why I, feel
