Never Know Why

Some songs don’t demand attention. They simply sit beside you, quietly unfolding their story one line at a time. This is one of those songs.

i never walked inside your shoes
i won’t pretend what life was like for you

you always kept me close and safe
i wish i could’ve done the same for you

i wanna to tell you everything
i love you and i mean it
but when you left i lost my peace of mind

how could you say goodbye
without saying goodbye
how did i stop and notice
you were lost and hopeless
and we still ran out of time

i know you must’ve had your reasons to leave us all behind

i’ll never know why

you knew me better than they did
you always took the worst of it alone

you sacrificed so much i know
a heart of gold but such a tortured soul

i wanna to tell you everything
i love you and i mean it
but when you left i lost my peace of mind

how could you say goodbye
without saying goodbye
how did i stop and notice
you were lost and hopeless
and we still ran out of time

i know you must’ve had your reasons to leave us all behind

i’ll never know why

how could you say goodbye
without saying goodbye

how could you say goodbye
without saying goodbye

i just want you to know that your still loved like you’re alive

i wish you knew why.

  • Thank You

    Every album eventually reaches its final note.

  • Unfixable

    There are songs that entertain, songs that inspire, and then there are songs that seem to arrive precisely when they are needed. What makes the song so powerful is its honesty. It acknowledges loss, disappointment, and heartbreak, yet never loses sight of hope. The lyrics don't promise easy answers. Instead, they offer reassurance that even in our darkest moments, we do not have to face them alone.

  • I’ll Be Gone

    Some songs become so deeply woven into popular culture that it is easy to forget just how well they are written. This is one of those rare tracks. Instantly recognizable from its opening synth riff, it remains one of the defining songs of the 1980s - bright, energetic, and impossible not to sing along to.

  • Fou Fou Fou

    Few songs have undergone a transformation as remarkable as Mad World. Originally written by Tears for Fears in the early 1980s, it was Gary Jules’ haunting piano-led interpretation that introduced the song to a new audience and revealed the quiet melancholy hidden beneath the original’s synth-pop surface.
