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
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
What you are thinking
What are you thinking?

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

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
Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why

You tell me
This is a book I never read
The words I never said
The path I’ll never tread
The dreams I’ll dream instead
The drink I step and spilled
Tears that we shed
The fear, Madrid
The conscious inside my head
These are the years we spent
This is what they represent
This is how I feel
Do you even know I feel?
Cause if you know
I don’t think you know
How can you know?
You never ask me!

Why
Why
