Why don't ya
You've played fast your whole life
Time to play slow
You've always reached so high
Because you feel so low
You said that you're all mine
So where did you go?
I see what you've done
You think you're happy being numb
Why don't you cry?
Feel broken-hearted for the dearly departed
Why don't ya
Your heart's desire burned out like a fire
Show me the real, as hard as it feels
I need to know
The journey to peace, no pleasantries
Let them all go
You gave back your whole life, time to receive
I see what you've done
You think you're happy being numb
Why don't you cry?
Feel broken-hearted for the dearly departed
Why don't ya
Your heart's desire burned out like a fire
Why don't ya
Cry broken tears
I'm going nowhere
I'll be right here
I'll be right here
I hold you
I'll be right here
I hold you
I'll be right here
Why don't ya
