hey Mr. God can you tell me what's
wrong with my life and all of its confusions
why did she leave me with nothing to show
except for a shallow disillusion
'cause I can't seem to figure out
why you feel this way
and I guess I'm to blame
if I told you that I didn't care about this place
would you think of me the same
could you please tell me why
could you please tell me why
could you please tell me why
why I can't ever find the answer to something
I will never understand
could you please tell me why
I sit back thinking that there once was a time
a time where everything was perfect
it seems the things we shared were so far behind
behind but we're never getting closer
'cause I can feel your shadow hanging over me
and I'm just peering through the light
now I realized you never really cared for me
will I ever see
could you please tell me why
why I can't hold on to the person
that I tried so hard to find
could you please tell me why
