You Tell Me
You ask if these are happy times
The Christmas lights, the sleigh bell chimes
Don’t you know, that question isn’t fair
And I know that these days hurt for you
But I’m trying to be happy too
Somehow you don’t even seem to care
And I’m tired of hearing every day
It’s so stupid that it works that way
I know, I live in it too
And you’re mourning one more setting sun
You’re preaching to the choir, hun
Don’t you know, there’s nothing I can do
So you tell me
‘Cause I can’t see
Any answer that might be right
You tell me
It’s not my fault, you always say
But it sure does come off that way
I tell myself, I didn’t do it
And I’m always in the middle here
But not lost in it, I see your fear
So to answer you, just trying to get through it
So you tell me
‘Cause I can’t see
Any answer that might be right
You tell me
I’m tired of feeling so broken up inside
I’m tired of believing all these futile lies
Of blaming myself for the things I cannot change
Of agreeing with you just to calm down your rage
So you tell me
‘Cause I can’t see
Any answer that might be right
You tell me
You ask if these are happy times
The Christmas lights, the sleigh bell chimes
Don’t you know, that question isn’t fair
