Amazing Grace the Musical - Tell me Why Lyrics

"Tell me Why" is a song from the Broadway musical Amazing Grace performed by Erin Mackey (Mary Catlett).

MARY:
God please say I’m dreaming, tell me it’s not real
I must awake, I must escape
This emptiness I feel

Yet I always knew it could somehow end this way
That this world would tear us apart
And all these things I do
All these foolish prayers I prayed
Couldn’t change his unwilling heart

But how could you have let me love him
Why god?
And poured this fire in my soul for him
Why?
Only to deny, the chance, to share a life
Tell me why, tell me...

Now another dark horizon, another great unknown
And I am left to find the answers, all on my own

But will I ever gaze into someone else’s eyes
And feel what I felt with him
When this world moves on,
And all the tears have dried
Will it heal this emptiness within?

And will I ever know the reason why god
You poured this fire in my soul for him, oh why?
Only to deny, the chance, to share a life
Tell me why, tell me... Why
