Tell Me Why
Penpals [saintcross] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel no shame about shape.
Weather changes their phrase
Even mother will show you
another way
So put your glasses on,
nothing will be wrong
There's no fame there's no blame
It's up to you
The first word should be found
Whatever holds you back
I can get it off
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
I don't know why
I don't know why are you afraid
Tell me what
Tell me what you wanna say
I don't know why
but too late,it's too late
Have no fear for real
it's just like a turning wheel
Once you start up,
there's no other way
Don't put your eyes on boots,
step toward your roots
There's no aid there's no trade
it belongs to you
Before you miss something given,
you should know what's the truth
I can make it out
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
I don't know why
I don't know why are you afraid
Tell me what
Tell me what you wanna say
I don't know why
but too late,it's too late

Before you miss something given,
you should know what's the truth
I can make it out
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
I don't know why
I don't know why are you afraid
Tell me what
Tell me what you wanna say
I don't know why
but too late,it's too late
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
I don't know why
I don't know why are you afraid
Tell me what
Tell me what you wanna say




I don't know why
but too late,it's too late

I’m just so sadden that the original was taken down. It had so many wholesome comments about people’s feelings on berserk and Miura. YouTube took down a legendary video.

exactllyyyy i loved going to the comment section of this song :(

@user-ce1zb9vb9b

Really ?

@Richard_Daniel333

@@user-ce1zb9vb9b yes really. Berserk was one of the first mangas I have ever read and the 1997 anime was better than the modern ones. Seeing people in the comments section sharing their memories and feelings for this master piece is emotional.
