Tell Me Why

You don’t ever talk about, I don’t know why

You don’t ever sing about, I don’t care why

I wonder why I’m wondering about wondering why

I wonder why you even give me the time of day

It ain’t a waste you say

And I’m thinking about it, can’t seem to think today

 

What’s the use of wondering if you never know why

What’s the use of laughing when all you do is cry

Would it be a shame to know why

That’s all I’m asking this time

 

Why do you always look so sad

Why do you always seem so bad at guessing

The way you really are

Why do you always look beat out, cheat out and need out

 Tell me why, why, why

Tell me why

 

Seems just like I don’t care anymore

Seems just like everyone wants a little more and more

Who’s gonna stop and close the door?

My brain’s all scrambled, it’s a big huge mess

My pain from the same things seems to all digress

To the same old stress

 

Why do you always look so sad

Why do you always seem so bad at guessing

The way you really are

Why do you always look beat out, cheat out and need out

 tell me why, why, why

Tell me why
