Why by Annie Lennox
(Why)
(Why)
How many times
Do I (1)________ to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the (2)____________ I've done
(Oooh)
But when I start to try to tell you
That's (3)________ you (4)________ to tell me
Hey, this (5)________ of trouble's (6)________ just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you (7)________ learn
To keep (8)________ big (9)__________ shut
That's why it hurts so bad
To hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling (10)________ your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me
(Why)
(Why)
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read
What you're thinking
(Ooooh)
And I've heard it (11)________ too many times
That you'd be (12)____________ off
Besides
Why can't you see (13)________ boat is sinking
This (14)________ is sinking (this (15)________ is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast (16)________ (17)__________ doubts
Some (18)____________ are better left unsaid
But they (19)__________ turn me inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me
(Why)
Tell me
(Why)
This is the book I (20)__________ read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the (21)____________ I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the (22)__________ we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the (23)__________ that we've 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 how I feel
I don't think you (24)________ (25)________ I feel
I don't think you (26)________ what I feel
You don't know what I feel
(Why)
