Tell Me Why Lyrics

How'd I wind up here again?
It's like I'm always getting blood on my hands
All it takes is one and I'm gone and a thousand 'til the end
How'd I wind up here again?

You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
I'm holding on too hard

Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard
Tell me why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?

How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast
All it takes is one and I'm gone and you can't erase the past
How come nothing ever lasts?

You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
I'm holding on too hard

Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
(From me?)

Here I am alone again
Alone again
Here I am alone again

How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast

Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me;
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
Tell me;
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?

to me it sounds like someone is having a tough time controlling their anger and the people they love always end up leaving them because don't want to get hurt anymore, and they end up hating them self for driving them away

My Interpretation
Cover art for Tell Me Why lyrics by Three Days Grace

Three Days Grace explained the inspiration behind this song in an Artist Direct interview. Bassist Brad Walst said, "It was about something you love being taken away from you. We have a friend who was going through some tough times. It's about that. It seems like everything you touch goes away or turns bad in a sense."

Matt Walst, the band's lead singer, added: "It seems like everything starts off good. Love deteriorates at a certain point."
