alan cumming - why (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
how many times do i have to try
to tell you that i’m sorry for the things i’ve done?
oooh
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
falling from your mouth

[chorus 1]
tell me why
tell me why

[verse 2]
i may be mad, i may be blind
i may be viciously unkind
but i can still read what you’re thinking
oooh
and i’ve heard it said too many times
that you’d be better off besides
why can’t you see this boat is sinking?
this boat is sinking
let’s go down to the water’s edge
we can cast away those doubts
somethings are better left unsaid
but they still turn me inside out
turn me inside out
turn me inside out

[chorus 1]
tell me why
tell me why

[chorus 2]
this is the book i’ve never read
these are the words i’ve never said
this is the path i’ll never tread
these are the dreams i’ll dream instead
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

[bridge]
and these are the years that we have spent
and this is what they represent
do you know what i feel?
‘cause i don’t think you know how i feel
