First of all, I'm a sex therapist; that's likely colouring my view here.
To me, it's got a double meaning. On the one hand, she's allowed her fear, insecurity, possibly even self-loathing to walk away from a relationship with a man she truly and deeply loved.
On the other, she may be anorgasmic: meaning, unable to experience orgasm - either in sexual intercourse, or period. It often results from trauma of some kind; can certainly make one fearful and insecure. Usually difficulties with intimacy, commitment, and fears of abandonment and betrayal.
Women affected with the condition have low self esteem, tend to have broken relationships, and feel 'apart' from the rest of sex-loving society. It's perplexing, too.
Most of the time they flat out find themselves chanting Norah's refrain, as their lover stares bewildered: 'I don't know why I didn't come.'
It's possible. If unlikely.
She could've gone with 'I don't know why I didn't show.'
Makes you think. Either way, beautiful, poignant song. DOES seem to carry an echo of such a woman's lament, though. It really does.
@mindhuntress Being a therapist of course your would think that but again, it's doubtful considering the song was written by a guy named Jessie Harris who didn't have Norah Jones in mind when he wrote it. "I don't know why I didn't show' is just terrible lyric writing and doesn't rhyme with sun, fun, run or drum.
