What It Really Was

[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]

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, hey
Ain't no telling what it really was
