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.
You try not to see and you try to ignore
You try to believe till you can't anymore
I know there's a day and I know there is one
When everything begins to feel, begins to feel numb
I know you were bleeding
I know you'd pretend
I see it now
The joker burned you out in the end
Shadowed emotions wore out the face that you made
Why are you stealing the moon?
Why won't it shine without you?
While you take from us fools
With a smile, you're stealing the moon
I can't shake the day when they told me you'd gone
I spoke to you a week before, if only I'd known
Your words wouldn't say
Your words wouldn't speak
But silently, words in your letter now scream
Writing an ending we could have saved, I believe
Tell me
Why are you stealing the moon?
Why won't it shine without you?
While you take from us fools
With a smile, you're stealing the moon
Why, why, why are you stealing the moon?
And you take from us all
Tell me
Why are you stealing the moon?
Why won't it shine without you?
While you take from us all
With a smile, you're stealing the moon
