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 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
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
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 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 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`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
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 know what I feel
I don`t think
you know what I feel
You don`t know what I feel

Why
