How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
But when I start to try to tell you
That’s when you have to tell me
Hey… this kind of trouble’s only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me…
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you’re thinking
And I’ve heard is said too many times
That you’d be better off
Besides…
Why can’t you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let’s go down to the water’s edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me…
Why
Tell me…
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I’ll never tread
These are the dreams I’ll dream instead
This is the joy that’s seldom spread
These are the tears…
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
’cause i don’t think you know how I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
You don’t know what I feel
Prevod pesme
Zašto
Koliko puta moram da pokušam da ti kažem
Da mi je žao zbog svega što sam uradila
Ali kada krenem da pokušavam da ti kažem
Tad ti moraš da mi kažeš
Hej… ta vrsta nevolje je tek počela
Previše puta govorim sebi
Zašto ne naučiš da držiš jezik za zubima
Zato toliko boli kad čuješ te reči
Koje neprestano teku iz mojih usta
teku iz mojih usta
teku iz mojih usta
Reci mi…
Zašto
Zašto
Možda sam luda
Možda sam slepa
Možda sam grozno neljubazna
Ali i dalje ti čitam misli
I previše sam puta čula
Da bi ti bolje bilo
Sem toga…
Zašto ne vidiš da ovaj brod tone
(ovaj brod tone, ovaj brod tone)
Hajdemo do ivice vode
Da odbacimo te sumnje
Neke stvari je bolje ostaviti nedorečene
Ali one me i dalje okreću naglavce
okreću naglavce, okreću naglavce
Reci mi…
Zašto
Reci mi…
Zašto
Ovo je knjiga koju nisam čitala
Ovo su reči koje nikad nisam izgovorila
Ovo je put kojim nikad neću ići
Ovo su snovi koje ću umesto toga sanjati
Ovo je radost što se retko širi
Ovo su suze…
Suze koje smo isplakali
Ovo je strah
Ovo je užas
To je ono što mi je u glavi
I to su godine koje smo potrošili
I to je ono što one predstavljaju
I tako se ja osećam
Da li znaš kako mi je?
Jer, ja ne bih rekla da ti znaš kako mi je
ne bih rekla da ti znaš šta ja osećam
ne bih rekla da ti znaš šta ja osećam
Ti ne znaš šta ja osećam
