WHY

 
Why
Why

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
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, yeah
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
Why

I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
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
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
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
(Why) this is the joy (you don't know) that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear (you don't know), this is the dread
These are the contents of my head
(Why) (you don't know) and these are the years that we have spent
(You don't know) and this is what they represent
(You don't know) this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel (you don't know)
(Why) 'cause I don't think you know how I feel (you don't know, no no)
I don't think you know what I feel
(Why) I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
