Why

How many times do I have to try to tell you
 That I'm sorry for the things I've done
 But every time I go to tell you
 That's when you have to tell me
 Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
 I told myself too many times
 Why don't you 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 that 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 your 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
 And these are the words I never said
 And this is the path I'll never tread
 And these are the dreams I'll dream instead
 And this is the joy that's seldom spread
 And these are the tears, the tears we've shed
 This is the fear
 And this is the dread
 And these are the contents of my head
 These are the years that we have spent
 And this is what they represent
 This is how I feel
 Do you know how I feel?
 I don't think you know how I, why I, feel
