Why
Verse 1:
You …seem far away
What should I do
Please tell me what should I say
Do … I tell the truth
Or should I lie
I wonder why
Pre-chorus:
Why should I try
Why should I care
Please tell me why
That I am still there
Chorus:
Why do I cry
Why do I shout
Why can’t I just figure you out
Why won’t it work
Why won’t it die
Why can’t we just let it go by
Where is the voice that tells me why
Verse 2:
I … I get so hot
Could call it quits
But this time I swear I’m not
I … wish you would look
Me in the eyes
And tell me why
Pre-chorus:
Why should I try
Why should I care
Please tell me why
That I’m still there
Chorus:
Why do I cry
Why do I shout
Why can’t I just figure you out
Why won’t it work
Why won’t it die
Why can’t we just let it go by
Where is the voice that tells me why
Bridge:
I watch you walk across the room
So beautiful...so full of gloom
Should I laugh or should I cry
I just shake my head… and I wonder why
Chorus
