How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done ?
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"
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...
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 is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides... Why can't you see this boat is sinking ?
Let's go down to the water's edge
We can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Tell me...
Why?
