Why (Boys On The Side)

Why?
Why?
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
Falling from your mouth
Tell me why?
Tell me 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
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away these 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 a book I never read
These are words I never said
This is a path I never tread
These are the dreams I dream instead
This is the joy that's ever spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents of my head
These are the years that we don't spend
This is what they remember
This is how I feel
Don't you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
You don't know how I feel
I don't think you know how I feel
You don't know what I feel
