Why lyrics

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for 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

Tell me why

Please tell me why

Well I may be mad, I may be blind

I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better off

Besides, why can't you see that this boat is sinking?

This boat is sinnking, 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

Turning inside out... baby, turn me inside out

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, this is the dread

These are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

Do you know how I feel?

'Cause I don't think you know how I feel

How I feel, you'll never know how I feel

You'll never know

Why?
