(Why ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) x2
How many times do I have to try to tell you that I'm sorry for the
things I've done uh uh uh 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
falling from your mouth, tell me
(Why ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah) x2
I may be mad I may be blind I may be viciously unkind but I can still
read what you're thinking uh uh uh 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) x3 Let's go down to the water's edge and we
can cast away those doubts Some things are better left unsaid but they
still turn me inside out turning inside out turning inside out tell me
Coro 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 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 and these are the years that we have spent
and this is what they represent and this is how I feel
do you know how I feel? 'Cause I don't think you know
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
