She always looks down like her eyes are little secrets   That cannot be told though she can't remember why   She only speaks loud when there's no one 'round to listen   And she will not laugh without cov'ring her smile      Oh why? She asks why?   Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?   Oh why? Why can't I?      She carries half a stone with her always in her pocket   It's rough on the edges but vibrant inside   She says to herself, I am just like this stone is   So why won't somebody take me by their side?      Oh why? She asks why?   Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?   Oh why? Why can't I?      Why not start living this life I've been given   Brilliance is nothing if you hold it inside   Why not start giving this life I've been livin' a try      She always has dreams of people with no faces   Who speak brilliant thoughts to themselves late at night   She read once in a book that all of these people   Are just pieces of her that she tries to hide      Oh why? She asks why?   Tell me why can't someone see that I'm more than shy?   Oh why? Why don't I?
