Where were you girl when I needed you the most?
You vanished from my life so quietly like a ghost
No trace, erased, from my life you were effaced
Gone with the wind it feels like I’ve been misplaced
(Reirereirereire reirereirereire)
I feel abandoned by you girl
Was ready to give you the world
Things were going so well,
But then you decided to desert me
So I’m tellin you this
Ireoke neol bonael sun eobseo
Wae irae
The lyrics to BTOB's song Why depict a man’s heartbreak and confusion over his lover's sudden disappearance from his life. The opening lyrics talk about how he can no longer hear his lover's voice and cannot help but be captivated by her presence in his mind. He wonders why she left him and begs for her to explain. The chorus repeats the phrase "wae irae" as a plea for answers.
The second verse includes the realization that he has no answer to his questions, as he had thought that things were going well between them. The lyrics speak of his frustration and sadness as he tries to understand why she has gone away. The bridge of the song speaks of their happy memories together and how much he loved her. The final chorus repeats the same questions and repeats the theme of his heartbreak, saying that he cannot forget her.
Overall, the lyrics to Why express the pain of lost love and the confusion that follows when someone leaves without any explanation.
