[Intro]
Why don't ya?

[Verse 1]
You've played fast your whole life
Time to play slow
You've always reached so high
Because you feel so low

[Pre-Chorus]
You said that you're all mine
So where did you go?
I see what you've done
You think you're happy being numb

[Chorus]
Why don't ya cry? (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Feel broken-hearted for the dearly departed
Why don't ya cry? (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your heart's desire burned out like a fire

[Verse 2]
Show me the real
As hard as it feels
I need to know
The journey to peace
With no pleasantries
Let them all go

[Pre-Chorus]
You gavе back your whole life
Time to rеceive
I see what you've done
You think you're happy being numb

[Chorus]
Why don't ya cry? (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Feel broken-hearted for the dearly departed
Why don't ya cry? (Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your heart's desire burned out like a fire
[Outro]
Why don't ya?
Cry broken tears, I'm goin' nowhere
I'll be right here, I'll be right here
I'll hold ya
I'll be right here, I'll be right here
I'll hold ya
I'll be right here
Why don't ya?
