bachata song tell me why tell me why lyrics

And the latter is definitely being more pronounced. Meanwhile she is not doing anything to provoke him in between. So that’s what has Taylor baffled. It’s as if dude is loving one moment and hateful the next. Moreover, this is an adult that we’re talking about here. And when one person does something to intentionally hurt another, on top of such attempts usually proving successful, they are generally cognizant of what they are doing.

This guy may not necessarily know the magnitude of how much his negativity is affecting Taylor, but he does know that it is affecting her nonetheless. Her pain is still visible, even if she doesn’t display it in full. And that’s what brings us to the titular request, “tell me why”. Moreover his ways are quite inexplicably, as there appears to be no practical reason for him to behave towards her in such a manner.

But secondly, she is in fact feeling him. Or another way of looking at it is that if any other dude were behaving this way, she would just cut him off. But considering that she ‘needs’ this particular person “like a heartbreak”, she has found herself in a truly unfavorable situation, being emotionally dependent on someone who is abusive. In fact that is more of less what the chorus centers on, such inconsistencies in his character. The verses, though focusing on his a-sholish tendencies, do not paint a complete picture. Dude can be cool sometimes also. For instance, just as the vocalist internalizes his mistreatment, she also takes it to heart when he says that he loves her.īut ultimately, what’s bothering her is twofold. Yes, first and foremost would be his afore-alluded “temper” and “mean streak”.

In fact as to be expected they are compelling her to unlike him, which is apparently something he is too caught up in his ways to realize until it is too late. Or stated otherwise she is not overly familiar with the addressee, nor is he with her. For instance, he may be under the impression that the toxic things he does and says may not really affect her. But to the contrary, they do. In other words, she knows that it may work out, or it may not. From the beginning, the singer herself comes off as someone who is not overly confident in this union.
