I don't know why
Kenny G & David Benoit Lyrics

The lyrics to Kenny G Feat. David Benoit's song Don't Know Why explore the feelings of regret, longing, and confusion that arise after a love affair has ended. The singer in the song is filled with remorse for having left his lover behind, and he's unsure why he didn't choose to stay. He notes that he waited until he saw the sun, implying that he spent the night with his lover, but then left her behind at the "house of fun." He doesn't understand why he couldn't have stayed with her, and his heart is filled with the pain of loss.

As the singer watches the break of day, he wishes he could escape his feelings of sadness and misery. He is catching teardrops in his hand, a physical demonstration of his emotional distress. Despite his heart being "drenched in wine," he cannot forget his lost love, and she will be on his mind forever. He fantasizes about dying in ecstasy across the endless sea, but he knows that he will likely end up alone and empty, a "bag of bones" driving down the road. He doesn't understand why he didn't stay with his lover, and he questions what made him run away.

The lyrics to Don't Know Why convey a sense of loss, confusion, and heartbreak that anyone who has experienced a failed relationship can relate to. They capture the feelings of regret and longing that can haunt us long after a love has ended, and they remind us that sometimes, we may never fully understand why things happened the way they did.
