[Verse 1]

I wish I never even started, oh

Don't know why you keep me going

Cortisone to the heart and

Oh, I ain't even feelin nothin' no more

And you use to fear the dark

So, I carried stars in my pocket

But you can never really see when

You roll around with empty sockets, oh

[Pre-Hook]

Here you are again, here you are again, there you go again

Here you are again, here you are again, there you go again

I believe that you, no longer despise

No room left for me, indifferent inside

I can see that you, closing off your mind

Clinging to your pride, indifferent inside

Indifference in your eyes

[Hook]

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

Girl, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

[Verse 2]

You know words could never solve it

Doesn't death make you stronger?

Doesn't matter what the cause is

It just takes a little longer, oh

And you still fear the dark

But, you put these stars in my pocket

And I can never really see when

We're blinded by this empty promise, oh

[Pre-Hook]

Here you are again, here you are again, there you go again

Here you are again, here you are again, there you go again

I believe that you, no longer despise

No room left for me, indifferent inside

I can see that you, closing off your mind

Clinging to your pride, indifferent inside

Indifference in your eyes

[Hook]

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

Girl, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

[Pre-Hook]

I believe that you, no longer despise

No room left for me, indifferent inside

I can see that you, closing off your mind

Clinging to your pride, indifferent inside

Indifference in your eyes

[Hook]

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

Girl, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

[Outro]

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah

Ain't no telling what it really was

Baby, won't you tell me what it really was, eh

Ain't no telling what it really was

Girl, won't you tell me what it really was, yeah
