Please Tell Me Why Lyrics

When I see your name

I swear it's not the fame

It's just the fact you pick me up when I'm sad

Won't you pick up the phone

You're leaving me alone

But I guess it's really not that bad

'Cause when you walk with me

And you're really begging me to try

But when I fall asleep

There's really nothing left to do but cry

Won't you please be mine

And if not please tell me why

The sounds of birds that sing

The telephones that ring

Are found to be a long distant memory

And now it's plain to see

What I claim to be

Is locked and tied away behind a key

And when the dust had cleared

And you had disappeared

The planet felt a sudden shake of despair

I looked to where you'd been

From that piece of tin

The rocket seared inside but you were not there

But still I walk with you

Traces of you remain deep inside of me

I could've opened my eyes to see

But you're gone and far from reality

Knew that you'd be mine

So give me one more try
