00:00Hello, everybody!
00:02Hello, everyone!
00:03Hello, everyone!
00:04How many times do I have to try
00:33to tell you that I'm sorry for the things I've done?
00:43Ooh...
00:49When I start to try to tell you, that's when you have to tell me,
00:55hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun.
01:05Yeah...
01:11I tell myself too many times, why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth short?
01:21That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth.
01:31Falling from your mouth...
01:37Falling from your mouth...
01:41Tell me why...
01:53Why...
02:03I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind, but I can still read what you're thinking.
02:15Ooh...
02:25And I've heard it said too many times that you'd be better on the side.
02:31Why can't you see this boat is sinking, this boat is sinking, this boat is sinking?
02:45Let's go down to the water's edge, and we can't cast away those dots.
02:55Oh yeah...
02:56Some things are better left unsaid, but they still turn me inside out.
03:05Turning inside out...
03:07Turning inside out...
03:11Turning inside out...
03:15Tell me why...
03:17Why...
03:26Won't you tell me why...
03:31Yeah...
03:35Oh...
03:37This is the book I never read...
03:41These are the words I never said...
03:43This is the book I'll never tread...
03:45And these are the dreams I'll dream and stake in...
03:48This is the joy that seldom spread...
03:51These are the tears, the tears we shed...
03:54This is the fear, this is the dread.
03:57These are the contents of my head...
03:59And these are the years that we have been
04:01And this is what they break the sand
04:04And this is what I feel
04:07Do you know what I feel?
04:12Do you know what I feel?
04:15Cause I don't think you, I don't think you
04:18I don't think you know what I
04:29Feel
