Why

[Verse 1] 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 [Hook] Tell me Why? [Verse 2] 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 water's edge We can cast away these doubts Some things are better left unsaid They still turn me inside out Turning inside out, turning inside out [Hook] Tell me Why? Tell me Why? You tell me [Outro] 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 The joy that's seldom spread The tears that we shed The fear And the dread And the contents inside my head These are the years they 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?
