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 when I start to try to tell you
That's (2)________ you (3)________ to tell me
Hey, (4)________ kind of trouble's (5)________ just begun

I tell myself too (6)________ times
Why don't you ever learn
To (7)________ your big (8)__________ shut

That's why it (9)__________ so bad
To hear the words
That (10)________ on falling (11)________ your mouth

Falling from (12)________ 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 (13)__________ 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 (14)________ boat is sinking
This boat is sinking (this (15)________ is sinking)

Let's go (16)________ to the water's edge
And we can cast (17)________ (18)__________ doubts

Some (19)____________ are better left unsaid
But they (20)__________ turn me inside out

Turning inside out
Turning (21)____________ 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 (22)__________ are the years that we've spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you (23)________ 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 (24)________ I feel

You don't (25)________ what I feel
