Why
Heartstrings Tangled: A Tale of Love, Lies, and Letting Go
Lyrics
Why does she still hold on
Questioning why the woman continues to hold on to someone.
To the guy that’s been gone
Referring to a guy who is no longer present in her life.
He played with her heart
Describing how he emotionally manipulated her.
He played with her mind
Highlighting psychological manipulation by the guy.
And she was blind the whole damn time
Expressing that she was unaware of the manipulation.
Promises and lies
Mentioning broken promises and deceit.
Empty promises that die
Referring to promises that were never fulfilled.
Say you love her to her face
Encouraging verbal expressions of love to her face.
Say something else in your brain
Contrasting spoken words with internal thoughts or actions.
Lies on lies on top of lies on top of lies
Emphasizing the accumulation of lies and deception.
You lead her on for months and then you say goodbye
Describing a pattern of leading her on and then leaving.
So why does she still hold on
Reiterating the question of why she still holds on.
To the guy that’s been gone
Repeating the idea of holding on to a departed person.
He played with her heart
Recalling how he manipulated her emotionally.
He played with her mind
Reiterating the psychological manipulation.
And she was blind the whole damn time
Re-emphasizing her unawareness of the manipulation.
You say you love her then you leave her then you disappear come back
Describing a cycle of leaving and returning without change.
Then you pull the stunt again despite what you said
Detailing a repeated pattern despite promises.
You said you changed all around without a shadow of doubt
Contrasting claimed change with contradictory actions.
Yet your actions speak louder then the words from your mouth
Highlighting the impact of actions over spoken words.
So why does she still hold on
Repeating the inquiry into why she holds on.
To the guy that’s been gone
Echoing the theme of holding on to someone absent.
He played with her heart
Recalling emotional manipulation by the guy.
He played with her mind
Restating the psychological manipulation.
And she was blind the whole damn time
Reiterating her unawareness of the manipulation.
So why does she still hold on
Continuing the questioning of why she holds on.
To the guy that’s been gone
Repeating the notion of holding on to a departed person.
He played with her heart
Re-emphasizing emotional manipulation by the guy.
He played with her mind
Reiterating the psychological manipulation.
And she was blind
Re-emphasizing her unawareness of the manipulation.
For the rest of time
Conveying that she remains blind for an extended period.
For the rest of time
Expressing a sense of enduring blindness in time.
