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.

I've been losing myself in anger

So much broken by the rage

Nothing could take my mind off

How to make them pay

Killing myself for nothing

And the pain won't go away

Losing myself to madness

And the game’s been played

If I could turn the hands of time, I would

But here I am

Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone

I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday

Tell me why am I still trying to hold on

I’ve got to tear it down, to let it go

I’m too tired to keep on trying

But I’m spellbound ‘till the end

Knowing that there’s no closure

For my wars inside

I’ve buried the good and evil

Only memories left behind

I am the one still standing

I will live to tell

If I could turn the hands of time, I would

But here I am, here I am

Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone

I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday

Tell me why am I still trying to hold on

I’ve got to tear it down, to let it go

Tell me why I’m wasting away

Tell me how to break my own chains

‘Cause I’m losing after all

How can I escape this grim fate

Tell me how to face one more day

‘Cause I’m wasting away

It’s all gone silent

I'm searching for fire

Nothing to fight for

Alone

Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone

I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday

Tell me why am I still trying to hold on

I’ve got to tear it down, to let it go
