How many times do I have to try to tell you
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Tell me...

I may be mad
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Tell me...
Why
Why
Tell me...
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the fear
This is the dread
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause i don't think you know how I feel
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
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
You don't know what I feel
