Song by Annie Lennox<br /><br>

How many times do I have to try to tell you <br>

That I'm sorry for the things I've done <br>

But when I start to try to tell you <br>

That's when you have to tell me <br>

Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun <br>

I tell myself too many times <br>

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut <br>

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words <br>

That keep on falling from your mouth <br>

Falling from your mouth <br>

Falling from your mouth <br>

Tell me... <br>

Why <br>

Why <br>

I may be mad <br>

I may be blind <br>

I may be viciously unkind <br>

But I can still read what you're thinking <br>

And I've heard it said too many times <br>

That you'd be better off <br>

Besides... <br>

Why can't you see this boat is sinking <br>

Let's go down to the water's edge <br>

And we can cast away those doubts <br>

Some things are better left unsaid <br>

But they still turn me inside out <br>

Turning inside out turning inside out <br>

Tell me... <br>

Why <br>

Tell me... <br>

Why <br>

This is the book I never read <br>

These are the words I never said <br>

This is the path I'll never tread <br>

These are the dreams I'll dream instead <br>

This is the joy that's seldom spread <br>

These are the tears... <br>

The tears we shed <br>

This is the fear <br>

This is the dread <br>

These are the contents of my head <br>

And these are the years that we have spent <br>

And this is what they represent <br>

And this is how I feel <br>

Do you know how I feel? <br>

'Cause I don't think you know how I feel <br>

I don't think you know what I feel <br>

I don't think you know what I feel <br>

You don't know what I feel<br>

<br>
