I Don't Know Why You Love Me
Wynners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it something I said
That you read all wrong and that
I don't know why you follow me
After all of these times
When I left you so far behind
You don't seem to care
If I ever give back
You seem to be pleased
If you only show me
All of the love inside of you
I wish that I could love that way too
I don't know why you write me
But I never write back
But you answer me anyway
I don't know why you love me
But I'm learning to love
Not depending on love in return
You don't seem to care
If I ever give back
All of the love you've given me
You seem to be pleased
If you only show me
All of the love inside of you
I wish that I could love that way too
The lyrics of Wynner's song "I Don't Know Why You Love Me" express confusion and uncertainty about why the other person loves the singer. The singer questions whether it was something they said that was misinterpreted, and they ponder why the other person continues to follow them even though they have left them behind in the past. Despite the singer's mixed feelings and lack of responsiveness, the other person seems to be content with showing love without expecting anything in return. This makes the singer wish that they could love in the same selfless way.
It seems that the song speaks to a complicated and imperfect relationship, where one person struggles with understanding the other's love and reciprocating it fully. The singer acknowledges their own shortcomings and inability to love like the other person does. They seem to be in awe of the effortless and unconditional love that the other person shows them, while being aware of their own limitations.
