Tell Me Why

hey Mr. God can you tell me what's 
wrong with my life and all of its confusions 
why did she leave me with nothing to show 
except for a shallow disillusion 
'cause I can't seem to figure out 
why you feel this way 
and I guess I'm to blame 
if I told you that I didn't care about this place 
would you think of me the same 
could you please tell me why 
could you please tell me why 
could you please tell me why 
why I can't ever find the answer to something 
I will never understand 
could you please tell me why 
I sit back thinking that there once was a time 
a time where everything was perfect 
it seems the things we shared were so far behind 
behind but we're never getting closer 
'cause I can feel your shadow hanging over me 
and I'm just peering through the light 
now I realized you never really cared for me 
will I ever see 
could you please tell me why 
why I can't hold on to the person 
that I tried so hard to find 
could you please tell me why
