Please tell me why
I have to deny
I cannot verify
The one thing I try
That makes me high

Please tell me why
I have to defy
I cannot rely
On that which will satisfy
Keeping me from this lie

Please tell me why
I have to be sly
When everything is nigh
Still all want to vie
They want their piece of the pie
And I just want to unify

Please tell me why
Every beautiful butterfly
Has to prematurely die
It should be the harmony
That leads the way to unity

Please tell me why
I have to feel shy
I can't even cry
My eyes have run dry
I'll get by with just a sigh
