Annie
Lennox – Why
Why... Why...
How many times do I
have to try to tell you,
That I'm sorry for the
things I've done?! Uhhh...
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've
never read;
These are the words
I've 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 fear
You don't know what I
fear
