Why can't I go
Where I want to be
What I want to see
What's in front of me?

Why can't I say
What I want to hear
What I need to know
What's affecting me?

Just give me a chance to tell you the truth
Before you turn away just show a little ruth
You think you know me, but do you know my lie
I wish I could tell you but you're choking my mind

Why won't I leave
When I want to grieve
While I want to seize
The day, 'cause I believe

I believe a day will come
When we'll walk under the sun
Holding hands and having fun
Such a day must surely come

Just give me a chance to tell you the truth
Before you turn away just show a little ruth
You think you know me, but do you know my lie
I wish I could tell you but you're choking my mind

But Why won't I know
What the world will show
And Why won't I see
The way you feel for me?

Just give me a chance to lie
Before you turn a blind eye
You think you know me. Why?
I wish I could tell you I...

Just want a chance to tell you the truth
Before you turn away just show a little ruth
You think you know me, but do you know my lie
I wish I could tell you but you're choking my mind
