Why Songtext

Why Songtext
How many times do I have to try to tell you?
That I′m sorry for the things I've done, mmm
But when I start to try to tell you
That′s when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of troubles only just begun
I told 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′t still rewatch your thinking, mmm
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 waters edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid but there′s still
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I never tread
These are the dreams I dreamed and stayed
This is the joy that sails bred
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents on 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 it feels?
Do you know how it feels?
I don't think you know what I feel
You don′t know how I feel
That I′m sorry for the things I've done, mmm
But when I start to try to tell you
That′s when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of troubles only just begun
I told 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′t still rewatch your thinking, mmm
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 waters edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid but there′s still
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me
Why
Tell me
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I never tread
These are the dreams I dreamed and stayed
This is the joy that sails bred
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents on 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 it feels?
Do you know how it feels?
I don't think you know what I feel
You don′t know how I feel
