Lyrics

Why ?

Tell me why
Tell me why

Contempt in your eyes
When I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied
Blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Whoo-hoo-hoo, hoo!

You in your false securities
Tear up my life condemning me
Name me an illness, you call me a sin
Never feel guilty, never give in

Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why, yeah

Yeah, yeah-yeah

You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love

You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love
You and me together fighting for our love

Ooh-ooh

Contempt in your eyes
When I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie, all my feelings denied
Blood on your fist

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
