Why by Annie Lennox

(Why)

(Why)

How many times
Do I have to try to tell you
That I'm (1)__________ for the things I've done
(Oooh)
But (2)________ 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 (3)________ learn
To (4)________ 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)
(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 said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
This boat is sinking (this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid
But they (5)__________ turn me inside out

Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me
(Why)
Tell me
(Why)
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'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 (6)__________ you know (7)________ I feel

I don't (8)__________ you know what I feel

You don't know (9)________ I feel
