The Fray - Why Lyrics

The Fray – Why Lyrics (originally by Annie Lennox) [Pre-Order iTunes Deluxe Edition Bonus Track] 

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 trouble only just begin
I tell myself too many times
Why don’t you learn to keep your mouth shut?
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
Keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me why
Why?
I may be mad
I may be glad
I may be viciously unkind
But I still can read what you are thinking
What you are thinking
What you thinking
I’ve heard it said too many times
You be better off
Besides, why can’t you see this boat is sinking?
This boat is sinking
Let’s go down to Waters Edge
We can cast away these stones
Some things are better left unsaid
They still turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Turn me inside out
Tell me why
Tell me why
You tell me
This is a book I never read
The words I never said
The path I’ll never tread
The dreams I’ll dream instead
The drink I step and spilled
Tears that we shed
The fear, Madrid
The conscious inside my head
These are the years we spent
This is what they represent
This is how I feel
Do you even know I feel?
Cause if you know
I don’t think you know
How can you know?
You never ask me
Why
