[ Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can be so tender, soft and kind,
I can be so cruel, so unrefined.
Foolish, careless, light as air,
Hurt and pouting — that I can wear.
I can catch your eyes, I can draw your gaze,
Or I can look so plain, in so many ways.
But the truth I’ve learned through all my days:
I just don’t know how to be happy — that’s the way.
**Chorus:**
Why? Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know why,
[ Verse 2]
Was it a sin in a past life, under the willow sky?
With a young shepherd, long ago — did that curse me, tell me why?
Now I’m the one who’s suffering, and I don’t know the reason why.
[Bridge]
Maybe he’s lost on Afghan sands,
Died at dawn with his final commands.
Maybe my young mother, long ago,
Chose a path where my happiness had to go.
No trace, no clue, no answers found,
Just me, a lone wolf, walking round and round.
**Chorus:**
Why? Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know why,
Was it a sin in a past life, under the willow sky?
With a young shepherd, long ago — did that curse me, tell me why?
Now I’m the one who’s suffering, and I don’t know the reason why.
There are men who call me friend, it’s true,
But that’s all — I’m still alone, it’s clear to you.
I’m falling, falling, wondering where my joy could be,
Where is my happiness? Is it lost for eternity?
**Outro:**
Enough…
It’s over…
Full stop
