Why
3T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does Monday come before Tuesday
Why do summers start in June
Why do winters come too soon
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up, oh why
Why do I love you, tell me why
It's not like I can explain what's in my heart
It's just I feel a crazy pain with we're apart
I don't want to breathe
I don't want to think
I don't want to love
I don't want to do anything
It's not like I can't describe what's going on
It's just I feel I'm not alive when your not home
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to be
I just want you here beside me
Without you there's no me
[Chorus]
Why do we love if love will die
Why does Wednesday come after Tuesday
Why do flowers come in May
Why does springtime go away
Why do people fall in love
When they're always breaking up
Oh why
Why do I love you, tell me why
It's not like I can escape what's in my soul
'Cause with you inside my heart where can I go
I don't want to see
No you without me
I can't go through life without you
Without you there's no me
[Chorus]
Why do we love if love will die?
Why do the rivers flow to the sea
Even if it flows
Why can't your love flow to me, babe
Why does my heart feel sadness
To be in love, to feel your love
Why don't I feel complete
[Chorus]
Why do I love you, tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell my why
Tell my why
The lyrics of 3T's song "Why" ask fundamental questions about life, love, and the passage of time. The chorus opens with a series of questions that defy easy answers, such as why do we experience love and heartbreak, why do we fall in love when relationships often end in pain, and why do our lives follow a predetermined pattern that leads to inevitable loss. The final line of the chorus, "Why do I love you, tell me why," brings the listener back to the personal, individual experience of love and its mysterious, inexplicable power over the heart.
The two stanzas that follow offer a more specific picture of the singer's own experience of love and longing. The phrase "it's not like I can explain what's in my heart" captures a sense of overwhelming emotion that defies rational explanation, while the lines "I don't want to breathe / I don't want to think / I don't want to love / I don't want to do anything" convey the intensity of heartache and desire. The second stanza picks up on this pattern, with the singer expressing a fear of being incomplete without their loved one and a sense of sadness that lingers even in the midst of loving.
Overall, the song "Why" invites reflection on the big existential questions that haunt us as human beings, particularly as we grapple with the contradictions and uncertainties of love. The lyrics suggest that while there may not be clear answers to these questions, the power of our emotions and connections with others make life worth living even in the face of loss and uncertainty.
