"and later go to a small cafe"
There we talked about lovin'
Love's the strongest poison, and the medicine of all
Than I crashed into his arms
And tears rolled down, I cried
And I said
See how that feeling comes and goes
See how that feeling comes and goes
Now you want to leave me
Tell me one good reason why
We got high on motion
We got drunk on alcohol
I gave him my warm body
Love's the strongest poison, and the medicine of all
Then I crashed into his arms
I cried
And I said
See how that feeling comes and goes
See how that feeling comes and goes
See how that feeling comes and goes
Now you want to leave me
Tell me one good reason why
In Three Days Grace's song Tell Me Why, the lyrics portray a conversation between two people who have been in love, but now one of them wants to leave. The singer reminisces about the times they spent together, like running into the fresh air and going to a small cafe to talk about love. The lyrics reflect on the idea of love being both the strongest poison and the medicine of all. It's something that can be intoxicating and all-consuming, but also has the power to heal and provide comfort. As the singer comes to terms with the idea of their love ending, they question why their partner wants to leave, asking for one good reason.
The chorus repeats the phrase "See how that feeling comes and goes," perhaps indicating that the intensity of their emotions and love for each other can fluctuate, but ultimately it is still there. The lyrics also allude to physical intimacy, with the singer giving their "warm body" to their partner. The song ends with the same plea for an explanation, giving the impression that the singer still needs closure and is struggling to move on.
Overall, Tell Me Why explores the complexity of love, its power to heal and hurt, and the difficulty of letting go when it comes to an end.
