Why
Unraveling Love's Deception: David Blair's 'Why' Reveals Heartache
Lyrics
Why say 'I love you' when you clearly don't
The speaker questions the sincerity behind the expression of love when it's not truly felt.
You only say you want me
The person only expresses desire for the speaker, not genuine affection or love.
When I try to go
When the speaker tries to leave, the person holds onto everything the speaker has given.
You've got all I've given
The speaker feels emotionally depleted, with little left to offer.
I don't have much left
Metaphorically, the speaker is collecting and trying to mend the broken aspects of their life.
I'm picking up torn ribbons
Efforts are made to rectify and clean up the mess or emotional turmoil caused.
Trying to clean up my mess
The speaker believes they're not the right match for the person and asks for honesty to align words with true feelings.
I'm not the one for you
The speaker questions the purpose of prolonging the situation and maintaining a dishonest facade.
Can you please make these words feel true
Desire for honesty and to end the deception, despite wanting to believe in the falsehood.
So my heart can make its way
The speaker wishes to move on emotionally.
So why drag this out
Questioning the purpose of extending a dishonest situation.
Why stretch this lie
Asking why the lie continues despite the desire to believe in it, suggesting ongoing emotional pain.
I want to believe it
The speaker wishes to believe in the expressed feelings despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
But all my tears still aren't dry
Despite the desire to believe, the emotional pain and hurt are still present.
I'm not ashamed that I've lost this game
The speaker isn't embarrassed by losing but questions why the other person continues the emotional game.
But we both know it so why you still trying to play?
Both parties are aware of the situation's reality, questioning the purpose of continuing the emotional facade.
My hand's waving bye to you
The speaker's physical departure contrasts with the emotional attachment that remains.
But my heart still can't leave the room
Despite physically leaving, the heart remains emotionally connected to the person.
As my body walks away
The speaker struggles with the physical act of leaving while emotionally still tied to the person.
Ooohh
An expression of emotional pain or longing, conveyed with an exclamation.
I'm on my way from you
Despite physically moving away, the speaker is emotionally conflicted and still connected.
But I keep looking back at you
An acknowledgment that the speaker isn't the right fit, yet a plea for honesty to allow emotional detachment.
I swear I'm not the one for you
The emotional pain of the situation is acknowledged, asking for the truth to facilitate closure.
It kills me please just say it's true
An emotional plea for the truth to help in detaching emotionally.
And let my heart leave
A request to release the emotional hold and allow the heart to move on.
Ooh even though I know
The speaker is aware of the need to move on emotionally, yet there's a struggle in doing so.
Why can't you let me go
Questioning why the person can't allow the speaker to emotionally detach and move on.
Ooh even though I know
Reiterating the emotional struggle of letting go, questioning why it's not happening.
Why can't you let me go
Continuing to question why the emotional detachment isn't occurring despite awareness of the need for it.
Ooh even though I know
Repeating the plea to understand the reason behind the struggle in emotionally letting go.
Why can't you let me go
Reiterating the confusion and plea for understanding why emotional detachment is difficult despite knowing it's necessary.
