Tell Me Why
Tell Me Why - Maxima Reserva Vol.1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken trust in hidden plans that only served to keep me in the dark
Tell me why, tell me why
In the middle of the night your ghost is always dropping by
Tell me why, tell me why
In the middle of the night the silence screams please let me die
Even though it's been months since your gone
It breaks my heart that I can't even move on
Help me to let go, God help me let go
When all the stars come out
I hope they help you shine now
I'd never let you drown
But now our ship is going down
Had no idea it would hurt so much when everything just feel apart
Broken trust in hidden plans that only served to keep me in the dark
I know I'll fall while I continue to learn
Things will be better when my thoughts no longer burn
You have to live with the choices you've made
Some I don't accept, so with you they shall stay
I will admit that I have some regrets
Pushing too hard I'll forever have to live with
Even though it's been months since your gone
It breaks my heart that I can't even move on
Have no idea why I'm still holding on
Help me to let go, God help me let go
When all the stars come out
I hope they help you shine now
I'd never let you drown
But now our ship is going down
When all the lights go out
I know that I must shine now
I'd never let you drown
But now our ship is going down
Had no idea it would hurt so much when everything just feel apart
Broken trust in hidden plans that only served to keep me in the dark
I know I'll fall while I continue to learn
Things will be better when my thoughts no longer burn
When all the stars come out
I hope that you shine now
When all the lights go out
I hope that you shine now
Please shine now
When all the stars come out
I hope they help you shine now
I'd never let you drown
But now our ship is going down
When all the lights go out
I know that I must shine now
I'd never let you drown
But now our ship is going down
Had no idea it would hurt so much when everything just feel apart
Broken trust in hidden plans that only served to keep me in the dark
I know I'll fall while I continue to learn
Things will be better when my thoughts no longer burn
