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?
