Why
Aldean Jason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say "I love you"
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside
Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say "I love you"
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you
In Aldean Jason's song "Why," the singer is grappling with his tendency to sabotage his relationship with his partner. The first verse finds him apologizing for an action that hurt his loved one, and wondering why he acts the way he does. The chorus questions why he continually uses hurtful words that cut deep, and why he only realizes the depths of his emotions and feelings when his loved one is on the brink of leaving him.
The mainstay of the song hinges on the lyrics that discuss the singer's inability to express love and affection towards his partner until the relationship is on the line. The lyrics reveal the singer's fear of opening up emotionally, which leads him to use words that do more harm than good. These words ultimately hurt his loved one and drive them away. The song's message is a reminder that relationships require work and communication, and that it's better to express one's emotions than to hold them back until it's too late.

It's three A.M. and I finally say
After avoiding it for so long, I finally apologize for my behavior
I'm sorry for acting that way
I express remorse for my negative actions
I didn't really mean to make you cry
My intention was not to cause you emotional pain
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
I reflect on my actions and question why I act this way towards you
Does it always have to come down
The situation seems to repeat itself and end in the same way
To you leaving
You wanting to walk away from our relationship
Before I'll say "I love you"
I struggle to express my love until it's almost too late
Why do I always use the words
I often resort to hurtful language
That cut the deepest
The words I choose are the ones that cause you the most emotional pain
When I know how much it hurts you
I am aware of the effect of my words but still use them
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
I express my confusion and guilt for treating you poorly
I know I'd never let you walk away
I have a deep love and commitment to our relationship
So why do I push you 'til you break
Yet, I still exhibit behavior that weakens our relationship
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Your patience with me has worn thin and may soon result in the end of our relationship
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside
I struggle to convey my true emotions and vulnerability to you

It's 3 a.m. and I finally say
I'm sorry for actin' that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
Does it always have to come down to you leavin'
Before I say I love you?
And why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you?
Oh baby why do I do that to you?
I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break?
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside?
Why does it always have to come down to you leavin'
Before I say I love you?
And why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you?
Oh baby why do I do that to you?
Why do I do that to you?
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you?
Oh baby why do I do that to you?
Why do I do that to you?

There are so many country songs that are helping me right now, in rehab, sober for 25 days now, and alone, left a 9 year relationship because of addiction. But all I can do...and hope things just get better for me. Finding myself again after the struggle of addiction and being abused, when I know I am beautiful, loving, fun, smart- basically just forgot all these things....
