Why?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why? Why'd you do that
You shouldn't have done that
If I told you once I told you three times
You'll get your punishments when you show me your crimes
It's not a spell or a curse you put on me
Or the way you make me smile so tenderly
But how I wish it was your temper you were throwing
Dawn you for being so easygoing
I thought that time would tell
My sins would provoke you to raise some hell
Not a chance
Whatever happened to fiery romance
Oh how I wish it was those dishes you were throwing
Dawn you for being so easygoing
No, don't give that line
Don't try to tell me that inaction is not a crime
Can't you see what kind of seeds you're sowing?
Dawn you for being so easygoing
