WITHIN TEMPTATION
"Tell Me Why"

I've been losing myself beneath this, so much broken by the rain
Nothing can take my mind off how to make them pay
Killing myself for nothing, then the pain will go away
Losing myself to madness and the game's been played

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I could turn the hands of time
I would, but here I am

[Chorus:]
Tell why am I still here when it's all gone
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on
I gotta tear it down to let it go

I'm too tired to keep on trying, but I'm spellbound to the end
Knowing that there's no closure for my wars inside
I've buried the good and evil, only memories left behind
Iron the walls to stand in, I will live to tell

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I could turn the hands of time
I would, but here I am
Here I am

[Chorus:]
Tell why am I still here when it's all gone
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on
I gotta tear it down to let it go

[Bridge:]
Tell me why I'm wasting away
Tell me how to break my own chains
'Cause I'm losing after all
How can I escape this bricked fate
Tell me how to face one more day
'Cause I'm wasting away

Fall down silent
Searching for fire
Nothing to fight for alone

Tell why am I still here when it's all gone
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday

[Chorus:]
Tell why am I still here when it's all gone
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on
I gotta tear it down to let it go
