[Intro]
Why?
Why?

[Verse 1]
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for all the things I've done?
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
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

[Refrain]
Tell me why?
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, ahh
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?
Why can't you see this boat is sinking? (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?) (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?)
Why can't you see this boat is sinking? (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?) (Why can't you see this boat is sinking?)
[Bridge]
Let's go down to the watеr's edge
So we can cast away thosе doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out

[Refrain]
Tell me why?
Tell me why?

[Verse 3]
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
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, and this is the dread
And these are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
‘Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you really know what I feel
I don't think you really know what I feel
This is how I feel
This is how I feel
