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
