Within Temptation "Tell Me Why" Songtext

Tell Me Why

I've been losing myself in angerSo much broken by the rageNothing could take my mind offHow to make them pay

Killing myself for nothingAnd the pain won't go awayLosing myself to madnessAnd the game's been played

If I could turn, the hands of timeI would, but here I am

Tell me why am I still here, when it's all gone?I'm living with the ghosts of yesterdayTell me why am I still trying to hold on?I've got tear it down to let it go

I'm too tired to keep on tryingBut I'm spell bound 'til the endKnowing that there is no closureFor my wars inside

I've buried the good and evilOnly memories left behindI am the one still standingI will live to tell

If I could turn, the hands of timeI would, but here I am (Here I am)

Tell me why am I still here, when it's all gone?I'm living with the ghosts of yesterdayTell me why am I still trying to hold on?I've got tear it down to let it go

Tell me why I'm wasting awayTell me how to break my own chains'Cause I'm losing after allHow can I escape this grim fateTell me how to face one more day'Cause I'm wasting away

It's all gone silentI'm searching for fireNothing to fight forAlone...

Tell me why am I still here, when it's all gone?Woah, living with the ghosts of yesterday

Tell me why am I still here, when it's all gone? (When it's all gone? [x3])I'm living with the ghosts of yesterday (Yesterday's ghost [x3])Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?I've got to tear it down to let it go
