A few questions that I need to know How you could ever hurt me so I need to know what I've done wrong And how long it's been going on Was it that I never paid enough attention? Or did I not give enough affection? Not only will your answers keep me sane But I'll know never to make the same mistake again You can tell me to my face or even on the phone You can write it in a letter, either way, I have to know Did I never treat you right? Did I always start the fight? Either way, I'm going out of my mind All the answers to my questions I have to find My head's spinning Boy, I'm in a daze I feel isolated Don't wanna communicate I'll take a shower, I will scour I will rub To find peace of mind The happy mind I once owned, yeah Flexing vocabulary runs right through me The alphabet runs right from A to Z Conversations, hesitations in my mind You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find I'm not crazy I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no I'm just waiting Cause I heard that this feeling Won't last that long Never ever have I ever felt so low When you gonna take me out of this black hole? Never ever have I ever felt so sad The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad Never ever have I had to find I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind I've never ever had my conscience to fight The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right I'll keep searching Deep within my soul For all the answers Don't wanna hurt no more I need peace, got to feel at ease Need to be Free from pain - going insane My heart aches, yeah Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head The alphabet runs right from A to Z Conversations, hesitations in my mind You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find I'm not crazy I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong I'm just waiting Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long Never ever have I ever felt so low When ya gonna take me out of this black hole? Never ever have I ever felt so sad The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad Never ever have I had to find I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind I've never ever had my conscience to fight The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right You can tell me to my face You can tell me on the phone Uh, you can write it in a letter, babe Cause I really need to know You can write it in a letter, babe You can write it in a letter, babe
