Tell Me Why - Cody Simpson

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t laughing but you do not cry

Cry for the young man

Who’s fighting for your mind

Cry for the old man

That’s just past his time

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Oh, tell me why

Tell me why the leaves

Well, they fall with your breath

And if the leaves don’t fall

When they leave your breath to rest

Your rebellion puts you up to the test

To the nation for evaluation

Watching you wild

With their radio station

Now I’m done playing the game

Oh yeah

Just searching for shading

With the tide with your tired mind

Put your breakup to the side

Oh, you can tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t laughing but you do not cry

Cry for the young man

Who’s fighting for your mind

Cry for the old man

That’s just past his time

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

You do not

Die with the masked man

The gas man, the tax man

He’s putting taxes on tax, man

While reaching out with the wrong hands

Singing to the systematic static

Television addict

Singing all in the attic

Can’t seem to see

All the plastic in the water, babe

You wouldn’t want that

For your daughter, babe

Thinking logical love and

Making logical love and

Forget what you’ve learnt and

You know that I yearn for you

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t laughing but you do not cry, ooooh

Cry for the young man

Who’s fighting for your mind

Cry for the old man

that’s just past his time

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why, tell me why

You ain’t laughing but you do not cry

Cry for the young man

Who’s fighting for your mind

Cry for the old man

Who’s just past his time

Tell me why

Tell me why

You ain’t living but you do not die

Tell me why
