Fragma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me goodbye
Why are you making me cry
And why do I still believe
Why do you leave me this way
Why did I ask you to stay
So why do I still believe
The lyrics to Fragma's song "Why" portray the emotional struggle of someone who has been left behind by a loved one. The singer is questioning their former partner's decision to end the relationship and is still grappling with the pain and sadness that has resulted from it. The repetition of the word "why" reflects the singer's confusion and desperation for answers in the midst of their heartbreak.
The opening lines, "Why do you tell me goodbye/Why are you making me cry," establish the singer's immediate emotional reaction to the breakup. They can't understand why their partner would choose to leave them and it is causing them intense sadness. However, despite this pain, they admit that they still believe in their relationship, asking "why do I still believe?" This demonstrates that while they are hurting, they haven't fully given up hope yet. The following lines, "Why do you leave me this way/Why did I ask you to stay," further emphasize this conflict - on one hand, the singer is struggling to accept that the relationship is over, but on the other hand, they may be questioning whether they actually want their partner back in their life.
Overall, the lyrics to "Why" highlight the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship, including confusion, sadness, and the struggle to move on.
