horus
Why-------------? Why------------?
How many times ...do I have to try ...to tell you,
That I'm ...sorry for the things I've done?
Oo - oo, oo!
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-----! Oo, yeah!
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!
horus
Tell me,...why---------? ...Why---------?
I may be mad, I may be blind,
I may be viciously un - kind,
But I can still read ...what you're thinking,
Oo - oo, oo - oo, oo - oo!
And I've heard it said,
Too many times, that you'd be better off,
Be - sides, ...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 un - said,
But they still turn me inside out,
Turning inside out, turning inside out!
horus
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 in - stead,
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,
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!
