Natasha Thomas's song "Why" confronts the hardships of a relationship that has ended poorly. The song's repetitive "ladidadida" gives the message of the constant nagging feeling of betrayal and heartbreak that the singer is struggling with. The chorus "Why does your love hurt so much?" gives the message of confusion and unanswered questions that are a result of the relationship's end.
The lyrics suggest that the singer had trusted her partner, demonstrated by the line "You know I loved you baby," and was ultimately betrayed. Despite the pain, the singer is still trying to understand why the relationship failed, as shown in the lyrics "Don't know why" and "You said our love was secret but you left me alone to make it." In the end, the singer declares that even though the partner may want to come back, the singer is unwilling to reopen old wounds and invites the partner to leave by repeating the phrase "here's what I say."
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of the aftermath of a heartbreak: the struggle to understand why things happened, the betrayal that forever hurts, and the difficulty in letting go.
