Tell Me 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.
Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see
You really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love
With a flame that never dies
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why
Ask anyone you know
And they'll say love fades away
But this hearts' crying just like yesterday
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared
So won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
