[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
