- Why LyricsIt must've been in a place so dark you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song
Facts about Why
✔️
Why is written by Allen Shamblin, Rob Mathes.
✔️
It is first released on April 07, 2009 as part of Rascal Flatts's album "Unstoppable" which includes 11 tracks in total. This song is the 10th track on this album.
✔️
When we think about what all of this might truly mean, Rascal Flatts’ ‘Why’ delves deep into the heavy mourning and perplexity that come with the suicide of a close one, interrogating the reasons that caused their leaving and showing a very strong feeling of undying sorrow. The song mainly conveys feelings of heartbreak, angst, reflection, despair, and nostalgia. In the same breath, loss and grief, memory and nostalgia, mental health and struggle, and finally hope and resilience are all themes that the song strongly brings out. The lyrics bring up the topics of death and troubled spirits, which are quite adult themes. Besides, the reference to a person walking out in the middle of a song might suggest a quick and maybe traumatizing happening, thus a PG-13 rating is justified.

My boyfriend had a cousin who commited suicide. He shot himself in the head. He was in the seventh grade....they think it was because of bullying.... No one should ever lose a 12 year old kid to bullying. Ill never forget seeing him in his casket, so young... It was horrible. RIP Noah Grawemeyer.
