ANNIE LENNOX - WHY Live (Video + Lyrics)

In occasion of the release of her Greatest Hits (The Annie lennox Collection) I thought it was right to remember this amazing song by this special artist. This live version is just incredible.

Visit SING, her ONG campaign to help children in Africa. U can have information directly from her official YouTube channel.
LYRICS:

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...Tell me...
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...)
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?

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
You don't know what I feel
