Lyrics
TELL ME
WHY YOU WANNA MAKE ME FEEL SO BAD
I GAVE YOU ALL THE LOVE I HAD
I DIDN'T HOLD BACK ANYTHING
I GAVE WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL
I MUST HAVE POURED IT STRAIGHT INTO
A GREAT BIG EMPTY HOLE
I TRY TO HIDE IT BUT IT STILL SHOWS THROUGH
MY HEART'S SO BATTERED AND SO BRUISED
SEEMS TO BE A PUZZLE THAT I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO SOLVE
A BLIND MANS BIGGEST TROUBLE IS HE'S ALWAYS IN THE DARK
(ch)
ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW THE WAY TO HAPPINESS
COULD YOU MAYBE WRITE IT DOWN OR SEND ME THE ADDRESS
WHEN THE WIND PICKED UP, IT BLEW THE MAP OUT OF MY HAND
COULD YOU MAYBE TELL ME WHERE I AM
COULD YOU MAYBE BABY JUST A HOLD MY HAND
(instrumental)
SOMETIMES THE PICTURE THAT WE SEE
IS NOT EXACTLY AS IT SEEMS
I'D RATHER HAVE A DREAM AND HAVE TO SLEEP OUT IN THE COLD
THAN HAVE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
THAT NEVER TOUCH YOUR SOUL
I GOTTA PLAY THE HAND THAT I'VE BEEN DEALT
AND YOU GOT ONE YOU GOTTA PLAY YOURSELF
I HATE TO SEE YOU GO BUT IF THAT'S HOW IT'S GOT TO BE
THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT I WISH YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE
(ch)
