[Intro, Acoustic guitar intro] (Faint wind in the background) (Soft picking, slow tempo) Shadows crawl across my wall Thoughts like echoes in a hall [Verse 1, Drums enter building slowly] Why? is the question. Why do you want to know? Why! can't my mind be my own You stare like I’m a page to read But some stories bleed [Pre-Chorus, Transition] You lean in close, like you care But I feel the weight of your stare [Chorus] Why why why I don't know Why you need to know Your motives show your soul Why why why Let me go Let my silence grow Some things I don't owe [Verse 2, Strummed chords with soft percussion] You say it’s love, you say it’s trust But underneath, it’s need or lust Digging deep, just to claim What’s never yours to name [Pre-Chorus, Light harmonies] A thousand words that sound so kind But there's a lock you want to find [Chorus] Why why why I don't know Why you need to know Your motives show your soul Why why why Let me go Let my silence grow Some things I don't owe [Bridge, Fingerstyle Guitar Solo, Emotional Build] (Ohh ohh ohh) You can’t hold what isn't free My peace belongs to me [Break, Stripped-down vocals] You say it’s just concern But I’ve begun to learn Questions can burn [Chorus, Full band] Why why why I don't know Why you need to know Your motives show your soul Why why why Let me go Let my silence grow Some things I don't owe [Outro, Quiet arrangement, fading strums] (Faint echo of "why…") Let it go… let it go…
