Lyrics
Let me tell you something
Expressing a desire to share information or feelings.
I’m not really sure what you’re expecting from me
Uncertain about the expectations placed on them.
If you expect me to wait for you for months and months
Questioning the feasibility of waiting for an extended period.
Well if you’re not ready
Declaring unwillingness to wait if the other person is not ready.
I can’t waste my time you know
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time.
I’m ready and I know what I want
Asserting readiness and clarity about personal desires.
And I can’t wait for you for that long
Unwillingness to wait for an extended period reiterated.
I gave you all the love I got and the patience I knew you
Having given love and patience, expressing understanding of the other person.
And even in the hardest times I would always be there for
Commitment to being there during challenging times.
But do you even realise what you got and how much it
Raising awareness of the partner's worth and the depth of the relationship.
To be here waiting for you and expecting what I can't
Acknowledging difficulty in waiting for uncertain outcomes.
I need you
Expressing a need for the partner.
It hurts
Conveying emotional pain due to unmet needs.
That I can't get what I really need
Expressing frustration over unfulfilled desires.
You hurt
Highlighting shared pain when needs are not met in the relationship.
When we can’t get what we really needed
Tell me why
Pleading for an explanation ("Tell me why") with a repetitive questioning tone.
Oh why
-Tell me why
-Oh why
-Tell me why
-Oh why
-Tell me why
-(Tell me why)
-Why
Expressing a general sense of confusion or frustration ("Why").
After everything I give
Reflecting on personal efforts and questioning self-worth.
Maybe I’m still not good enough
Expressing doubts about being good enough despite efforts.
(Maybe I'm still not good enough)
Repeating the insecurity about personal adequacy.
Cause I see further than you do
Claiming a broader perspective and greater aspirations.
And I want more than I can get
Desiring more than what is currently attainable.
I can spend my entire day asking you questions about when it will happen
Expressing frustration with vague or unsatisfying answers from the partner.
And you never give satisfying answers
-To me it feels like it’ll never come
-Tell me why
Repeating the plea for an explanation ("Tell me why") with variations.
(Can't tell me why)
-Oh why
-(Oh no)
-Tell me why
-Oh why
-(Tell me why)
-Tell me why
-Oh why
-(Tell me why)
-Tell me why
-Why
-(Why)
(Why)
-Yeah you should tell me why
Continuing the plea for an explanation and expressing a strong desire to know ("Tell me why").
I wanna know why
-You should tell me why
-So just tell me why
-(Ah Oh No)
-Tell me why
-(So why)
Repeating the question with urgency ("Tell me why").
Tell me why
-Tell me why
-Tell me why
Final repetition of the plea for an explanation with emotional emphasis ("Tell me why").
Tell me why
-You should tell me why
-Tell me why
-(Oh why)
