Tell Me Why

NYVE

Release date: 3 October 2025

About the song

The song is about someone who was dear to you, but who left without explanation. When that person was still around, you took them for granted. Now they’re gone, you don’t want to admit how much this person actually meant to you. The song asks for answers, clarity, and emotional closure.

Why, why did you leave me all alone
Where did you go?

I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know how you did it
But somehow you did the unexpected
I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t admit it
But you have really found your way in

That’s not what we talked about
That’s not what you said
That’s not part of the plan
But now you’re in my head, so

Why, why did you leave me all alone
Where did you go?
Why, why did you leave me all alone
Where did you go?

I know, I know, I know I might be too late
But can you really put the blame on me?
I will, I will, I will, make an end to this
But until then, won’t you wait for me?

‘Cause that’s not what we talked about
That’s not what you said
That’s not part of the plan
But still you’re in my head, so

Why, why did you leave me all alone
Where did you go?
Why, why did you leave me all alone
Where did you go?

Just tell me why, just tell me where
Just tell me when, just tell me, just tell me
Just tell me why, just tell me where
Just tell me when, just tell me

Just tell me, just tell me why
