Close your eyes 
To shut out the madness 
That’s been building up inside like 
swelling tide that engulfs the senses 
As your dreams descend into night 

And I hope 
We’ll pull through 

Tell me why 
It’s so easy to give up? 
Tell me why 
You’re still willing to give up? 
Tell me why… 
Tell me why… 

You’re getting tired 
Too weak to speak now 
You must learn to eat now because in time 
You wonder why [bad word] to visit 
They can’t stand to hear it when you cry 

And I hope 
We’ll pull through 

Tell me why 
It’s so easy to give up? 
Tell me why 
You’re still willing to give up? 
Tell me why… 
Tell me why… 

Tell me why 
It’s so easy to give up? 
Tell me why 
You’re still willing to give up? 
Tell me why…
