Why? Lyrics

Lauren Babic 73 views
"“Why? Lyrics” by Lauren Babic is a very emotional song, which revolves around the topic of insecurity, hiding oneself, and fearing the reaction of the other person, should they ever find out what you are really like. The lyrics make a metaphorical use of the phrase “pretty little bow” to convey a sense of being under pressure and trapped behind an image one tries to maintain. The questions of being afraid of judgment, of hiding from the other person, of wondering whether the person would still love you if he or she knew what kind of person you really are give rise to the central emotional conflict of the song. "

Why? Song Lyrics

I'm about to choke
Pretty little bow wrapped around my…

You think you know me
But only see the pieces
That I'm showing
Holding on to who you think that

I needa be for you
Pretty little bow
Wrapped around my throat
It's like
I'm about to choke
Breaking my back
And I'm always askin'...

Why do I hide from you?
Like I'm gonna make you hate me too
Never let you see behind my mask
But I'm always askin' "why?"
I have nothing left to prove
What if one day you know my truth?
Will you like what you find?
Still I'm askin' "why?"

Unsure
Unsure if the way you saw me before
Changes the way that you say my name
Will you see me the same?
Will you give up on me
If I share these parts of me
So I'm asking…

Why do I hide from you?
Like I'm gonna make you hate me too
Never let you see behind my mask
But I'm always askin' "why?"
I have nothing left to prove
What if one day you know my truth?
Will you like what you find?
Still I'm askin' "why?"

I… I'm about to choke
Pretty little bow wrapped around my throat
It's like
I'm about to choke
Breaking my back
And I'm always askin'…
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
Breaking my back
And I'm always asking WHY

I'm about to choke
Pretty little bow wrapped around my throat
It's like
I'm about to choke
Breaking my back
And I'm always askin'...

Why do I hide from you?
Like I'm gonna make you hate me too
Never let you see behind my mask
But I'm always askin' "why?"
I have nothing left to prove
What if one day you know my truth?
Will you like what you find?
Still I'm askin' "why?"
