TELL ME WHY  
Music & Lyrics by Michael Fisher © 2021 
 
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I CAN’T FEEL LIKE YOU DO 
MAYBE I, MAYBE I 
I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU 
                                                                                                                        
I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU 
          
TELLING LIES, SPREADING LIES
THEY WORM RIGHT THROUGH YOU 
MINIMIZE, JUSTIFY
TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD                                                                               
MAYBE I, IF I TRY
I’LL SEE GOOD IN YOU 
BUT I LIE, YOU KNOW I LIE
I WON’T FIND IT IN YOU 
                                                                                
I WON’T FIND IT IN YOU 

TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I CAN’T FEEL LIKE YOU DO 
MAYBE I, MAYBE I
I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU 
BUT I TRY, YES I TRY 
I NEED TO BELIEVE YOU 
‘CUZ IF I, LET IT DIE
MY SOUL WON’T FORGIVE YOU 
MINIMIZE, JUSTIFY
TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD 
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I NEED TO FEEL GOOD 
                                                                      
I NEED TO FEEL GOOD 
              
WHY DO I, EVEN TRY
I GUESS I NEED YOU 
MINIMIZE, JUSTIFY
I WANT TO FEEL GOOD 
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I CAN’T CONFRONT YOU 
MAYBE I, MAYBE I
I FEEL LIKE YOU DO 
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I FEEL LIKE YOU DO 
TELL ME WHY, TELL ME WHY
I GUESS I NEED YOU 

Most of us, I think, battle internally with the forces of good and evil, our inner voices. It’s what makes us human, our ability to reason and try to do the right thing, but also accept ourselves for who we are. That is what Tell Me Why is about, I think… 

The song was written in the early days of the Covid pandemic and originally appeared as the 4th track on the 2021 album ‘Wisdom of Crowds’. This remixed and remastered version will be available on all digital platforms on Friday, February 17. 

Thanks for listening!
