Tell Me Why
Unraveling Love's Mystery: Marco Borsato's Tell Me Why
Lyrics
Waking up with you
Expressing the joy of waking up alongside a loved one.
Was a dream come true
Describing the fulfillment of a dream by being with the person.
Catching me by surprise I'm in love at last
Being pleasantly surprised and finally experiencing love.
Nothing in the past Has ever felt so nice
Highlighting the exceptional, positive emotions in the present.
But a shadow lies
Introducing a contrast with the presence of a shadow or concern.
Over your eyes
Indicating that there's something troubling or hidden in the eyes.
Every time they're smiling at me
Observing a contradiction - smiling eyes but with an underlying issue.
Sometimes bothering you
Acknowledging that the issue bothers the partner at times.
But it's sometimes that I can't see
Admitting personal difficulty in perceiving the problem.
Tell me why
Pleading for an explanation or understanding of the emotional pain.
My love is making you cry
Expressing concern about causing the partner to cry.
Tell me why
Repeating the request for an explanation or reason for the tears.
You need me and still wanna say
Questioning the need for the relationship if it leads to goodbyes.
Goodbye why y
Continuing the plea and expressing confusion about separation.
Oh no why y
Repeating the emotional distress and questioning the situation.
Tell me why
Reiterating the request for an explanation or understanding.
I am oh so sure
Expressing confidence but sensing a past issue affecting the present.
Something happened before
Suggesting a belief that something in the past is causing distress.
That's bringing about all those tears
Linking the past events to the current emotional turmoil.
But while that memory
Referring to a mysterious memory causing pain and uncertainty.
Is a mystery
Emphasizing the inability to understand or resolve the partner's fears.
I can't get rid of your fears
Stressing the persistent impact of the unknown fear on the relationship.
And each wonderful day
Highlighting the contrast between wonderful days and lingering uncertainty.
Those shades of grey
Referring to challenges or difficulties represented by shades of grey.
Will emerge to dim your heart
Suggesting that these challenges will overshadow the joy in the heart.
Please let me in on this
Pleading for insight or information to address the growing emotional distance.
It is tearing our world apart
Expressing the severe impact of the undisclosed issue on their world.
Tell me why...
Continuing the request for understanding the reasons behind the pain.
