She always looks down like her eyes are little secrets That cannot be told though she can't remember why She only speaks loud when there's no one 'round to listen And she will not laugh without cov'ring her smile Oh why? She asks why? Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy? Oh why? Why can't I? She carries half a stone with her always in her pocket It's rough on the edges but vibrant inside She says to herself, I am just like this stone is So why won't somebody take me by their side? Oh why? She asks why? Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy? Oh why? Why can't I? Why not start living this life I've been given Brilliance is nothing if you hold it inside Why not start giving this life I've been livin' a try She always has dreams of people with no faces Who speak brilliant thoughts to themselves late at night She read once in a book that all of these people Are just pieces of her that she tries to hide Oh why? She asks why? Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy? Oh why? Why don't I?
