[Verse 1]
Thin and white and kinky hair
A shadow climbing up the wall
Your letter lying near the phone
With honors for the patient one

[Pre-Chorus]
I know your dark side is stronger than you think
You always were underneath

[Chorus]
Was this trouble your nature?
Why can't you shake it
Even like this?
Was this trouble your nature?
Why can't you say it
Even like this?

I don't know why
I don't know why

[Verse 2]
They always have so much to say
And no one there who cared to hear

[Pre-Chorus]
I know your darkness better than you think
While all your old lovers falling on their knees
And all their hearts exploding underneath
You always were good to me
[Chorus]
Was this trouble your nature?
Why can't you shake it
Even like this?
Was this trouble your nature?
Why can't you say it
Even like this?

I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why

[Outro]
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
