Why... Why...

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for the things I've done?! Uhhh...

But when I start to try to tell you

That's when you have to tell me:

Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun

I tell myself too many times

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me...

Why...

Why...

I may be mad;

I may be blind;

I may be viciously unkind;

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard it said too many times

That you'd be better off...

Besides...

Why can't you see this boat is sinking

(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge

And we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out...

Turning inside out...

Tell me...

Why

Tell me...

Why

This is the book I've never read;

These are the words I've never said;

This is the path I'll never tread;

These are the dreams I'll dream instead;

This is the joy that's seldom spread;

These are the tears...

The tears we shed

This is the fear;

This is the dread

These are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel?

'Cause I don't think you know how I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

I don't think you know what I fear

You don't know what I fear.

You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool

You must think that I'm new to this

But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinkin' I'm heartless

I know you're thinkin' I'm cold

I'm just protectin' my innocence

I'm just protectin' my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way to good at goodbyes

(I'm way to good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No way that you'll see me cry

(No way that you'll see me cry)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No

No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No, no, no, no

No, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

(No way that you'll see me cry)

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes.

Um canto, um silêncio, um voz qui ca soá

Um mágoa entranhóde na coração

Um surto di dor, lágrima cristalina

Pa consolança d'um perdido amor

Carícia tão leve d'um beijo tão breve

Um gosto, um sabor revelóde moda uma flor

Lembrança dum sonho ta fluctuá na nha mente

Presença ausente di bô carinho

Um canção ta nascê novamente

Pa trazê um razão di nô crê

Voz d'amor ta bem ser voz activa

Seu grito ta intchí nôs alma

Um canção ta nascê novamente

Pa trazê um razão di nô crê

Voz d'amor ta bem ser voz activa

Seu grito ta intchí nôs alma

E coração di mundo intêr

E coração di mundo intêr

HEROES

DAVID BOWEI

SONGWRITERS: DAVID BOWIE & BRIAN ENO

WHERE: LIVE IN BERLIM 2002

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: HEROES

LABEL: RCA RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1977

"Heroes" is the 12th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records on 14 October 1977. The second installment of his Berlin Trilogy recorded with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti, "Heroes" continued the ambient experiments of Bowie's previous album Low (released earlier that year) and featured the contributions of King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp. Of the three albums, it was the only one wholly recorded in Berlin.

It was well received by critics, and was named NME Album of the Year. The title track remains one of Bowie's best known and acclaimed songs. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be heroes, forever and ever

What'd you say?

I, I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

We can beat them, forever and ever

Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side

Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever

Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh.
