Tell Me Why

(album: The Unauthorized Breakfast Item - 2003)

Something deep inside of my heart helps me to find the way
Builds me up and keeps it apart until we start a brand new day
I catch my mind on a vision of you
A smile from another place
And I remember the memories held within
And I know what I see is your face

Waiting here like a thief in the night
Shadow behind a door
I can never believe what the hell I came here for
I catch my eye on the stain on the wall
A stain from another day
And I remember the memories held within
And I don't know what to say

Tell me why we lead our lives like this
Why there must be a reason
Why we steak another's kiss
When it's clearly just not the season

So I'll hold our love in the palm of my hand, welcome like the rain
I'll watch it drift away like the sand through the fingers of my pain
If I had only though about you when I was tempted by the kiss
I might never have fallen for someone else
And it would never have come down to this

I was never one for excuses, I was never one to fall
For someone that was jumping in my overalls
Oh, I can see your smiling faces
Oh I can see everything
But I still don't know where you are
Know where you are

So I'll keep on searching deep in my heart
Searching every day
See if we can make a new start
And if I can find a way

I catch my eye on a vision of you
A smile from another day
And I'll dream of the memories held within
And I don't know what to say
Yes, I'll dream of the memories held within
And I don't know what to say
Yes, I'll dream of the memories held within
And I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say, I don't know what to say
