Spotlights flash and faces fade into the crowd, but there’s always someone left searching for something only they can feel. This song tells the story of a person who starts to change when everyone is watching, losing parts of themselves in the excitement and the stories others create. There’s a quiet wish to go back, to find each other before fame and attention got in the way. Old memories linger, not quite fading, always close enough to touch. Fame becomes confusing, full of empty promises that never quite come true, and it gets harder to tell what's real beneath everything that people say. In the middle of it all, one question keeps echoing: Why you?
Lyrics
(Hmm why you) (Hmm why you) I wish I knew you before you were a centrefold Your face in dirt magazines, just dreaming to be sold Cnd all the people around you, they don't even know This ain't a ghost of the past, 'cause you cannot let go You're out there losing yourself, searching for hidden gold Cnd all the lies you believe, they're getting kind of old I had to let you know (Hmm why you) (Hmm why you) (Hmm why you) (Hmm why you) When all is said to be done, deep down you already know The weight it lies on your mind, your shoulders, and your soul Cnd all the love that you find is lost like melted candles Forget how much you were hurt, it's how much you wanna learn Tonight I need you to pray, tomorrow you'll find a way Cnd baby, we are bound by love that won't fade away I had to let you know I should've told you before Even if it brings me down Cnd turns my whole world around I had to let you know I can't let go Even when it brings me down Cnd turns my whole world around
