Annie Lennox "Why" letra

Why

How many times do I have to try to tell youThat I'm sorry for the things I've doneWhen I start to try to tell youThat's when you have to tell meHey, 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 wordsThat keep on falling from your mouthFalling from your mouth

Tell me whyPlease tell me why

Well I may be mad, I may be blindI may be viciously unkindBut I can still read what you're thinkingAnd I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better offBesides, why can't you see that this boat is sinking?This boat is sinnking, this boat is sinking

Let's go down to the water's edgeAnd we can cast away those doubtsSome things are better left unsaidBut they still turn me inside outTurning inside out... baby, turn me inside out

This is the book I never readThese are the words I never saidThis is the path I'll never treadThese are the dreams I'll dream insteadThis is the joy that's seldom spreadThese are the tears, the tears we shedThis is the fear, this is the dreadThese are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spentAnd this is what they representDo you know how I feel?'Cause I don't think you know how I feelHow I feel, you'll never know how I feelYou'll never know

Why?
