Album: B-Sides
People ask me why I try,
Well why do I?
You gotta keep moving, keep grooving.
People ask me why I lie,
Well why do I?
Quickness of the tongue can deceive the eye.
It's all in your head in the words you've been fed,
If you answer back a question, let you off dead,
Who can you trust and who can you hold?
Can you find a trace of truth in the stories you've been sold?
A buddy from school, a friend or a lover,
They all turn their back on a so-called brother.
They can say what they want, they can talk, they can blabber,
When it comes to the crunch they're just all backstabbers.
Bridge
People seem to ask me why the change of mood?
But they don't understand and I don't think they could.
Chorus
(So many questions) so many questions, too many to mention,
People seem to pry, I often wonder why.
So many questions, too many to mention,
People seem to pry I answer when I lie x2
People ask me why oh why there's a tear in my eye,
When you're not around I feel down.
People ask me why I cry, well why do I?
I cry jealous tears every time you pass by.
My arms once full, a glowing warm soul, but how the lover was nothing at all!
A grip that was firm with a soft tender hand pulled away from my fingers wandered to another man.
A couple once close, joined at the hip,
It's a shame that the sun went down on our relationship,
Soft tender words, spoken conversation,
But it never lasts long, why do I have this reputation?
