10. Tell Me Why
Album: Empty
Artist: Tait
         
 

I talked to Mother just today,
She told me Daddy walked away
Now everything's about to change
I sought for words, I could not find
A thousand questions filled my mind
How could you throw it all away

My heart is left without a home
But I won't let it turn to stone
There's got to be another way
Cause I can't take this pain

CHORUS
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do people run away
Can we try, try to find
Try to find the will to stay

A beating heart, a tender kiss
Love is so much more than this
Always givin' in and never giving up
I know the man I want to be
I've seen enough of misery
It's time for me to break free, yeah

Doubt may whisper in my ear
But I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me
(Tell me) Is it just a dream

CHORUS

I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again
I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again

Doubt may whisper in my ear
That I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me
Oh does anyone believe

CHORUS

Cause every time you run
Every time you run away
Can we try, try try try try
You don't have to run
You don't have to run away
