Allen, Lily - Why Lyrics






Why aren't I one of these interesting people, who's always got something to say.
To not be contrived, and to feel so alive, and to never, have wasted, a day.
To go for long walks, have well informed talks, in a non-confrontational way.
Why aren't I one of these interesting people and why won't you stay?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fears.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see.
All I need is to change, change.
Not too much I still want to be me.
Everyone looks the same.

Why is my phone full of so many numbers, and why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy, or maybe I've no friends at all.
While I'm watching TV, they're all out necking E's and while obviously I'm appalled.
Why is my phone full of so many numbers and why don't you call?

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fears.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see.
All I need is to change, change.
Not too much I still want to be me.
Everyone looks the same.

I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years,
I just want to read and retain information,
Just face up to my fears.
I look at myself and it's so plain to see.
All I need is to change, change.
Not too much I still want to be me.
Everyone looks the same.

Allen, Lily Why Comments
  1. A.... O....

    As a music nerd, I hate other songs because they are so repetitive and have such boring melodies... but this is heaven!

  2. K.... ....

    where can i find these interesting people, i have never found them before

  3. N.... B....

    I don’t know why but this song makes me happier about myself. Like, I have friends and people who love me. The only downside is I’m on my period

  4. S.... S....

    It’s cool that everyone is talking about the lyrics, but I wanna know where I can find more music with those instrumentals~ the whole fae-fairy forest vibe is totally my aesthetic and I wanna find more~

  5. L.... B....

    This is so me.....😪

  6. H.... M....

    This song really ressembles my "wallflower" self, and I'm suprised that other people are just like me..





    Why can't I have friends like this kind of people..

    H.... M....

    Yeah, i know the feeling of that

  7. C.... B....

    I want to fucking die

    C.... B....

    uhhhh..... You okay buddy?

    C.... B....

    Hey, you ok?

  8. s.... ....

    this song is literally an INFP

  9. B.... B....

    I honestly LOVE this song but I’m going crazy cause I can’t find it anywhere!!!

  10. Y.... :....

    This shouldve been on coraline

  11. D.... J....

    Oh I relate to this so much 😢

  12. �.... i....

    This is such an underrated song of Lily’s. I love it ❤️

  13. s.... ....

    first too many people wanna talk to me so i talk but they start talking to someone else and then im lonely

  14. s.... ....

    e3bw4ejhb why doi relateso much wtff

  15. G.... C....

    lmao this song describes me perfectly

  16. s.... ....

    This song is me.

  17. P.... P....

    The beginning always makes me think of Coraline

  18. S.... L....

    now THIS is a mood

  19. r.... ....

    I relate to this song because, I’m an extrovert who just is needing attention. I want to change so that people will call me, or notice I exist.

  20. S.... I....

    Love this song ♡

  21. T.... S....

    she sounds like a disney princess fr

  22. T.... S....

    I always have something to say but I ain't interesting at all.

  23. G.... B....

    I'm here from the M.A.P

  24. L.... C....

    I'm pretty sure it's only me, but I find this song kind of creepy? It's like, the cheerful tune and then the weird lyrics and the sadder meaning and it just comes off as wrong to me. I might just be overthinking it...
    Also, I don't really relate? I do feel like my friends do stuff without me often but I'm an extrovert so I usually know what to say lol

  25. _.... ....

    What does it mean to be out necking e's
    What

  26. x.... R....

    2:03 - 2:19

  27. C.... C....

    Challenge : How Many Whys' is there in this song? (I'm wondering XD)

  28. S.... R....

    I love this song. I don’t really have real friends just people I sit with at lunch to not get picked on. I hate people/socializing I know that sounds weird but people I just don’t understand people because I understand art and math so I don’t have friends except music.

    S.... R....

    I also have a dark humor so if I do add on conversation and put the book down I talk about stuff where either everyone suddenly has to go to the bathroom someone is calling them or they just ignore me I do talk but I am called annoying because I am smart and correct teachers a lot. I also have to make it through high school so close. I know several people can relate comment if you can.

  29. C.... :....

    I love the part from 0:39

  30. S.... W....

    i want to die

    S.... W....

    same fam

  31. A.... ....

    I relate.

  32. W.... O....

    Of course, the song I love from Lily isn't even on spotify or any other app.

  33. w.... ....

    This sounds like coraline so much

  34. f.... ....

    this song its so good!

  35. C.... H....

    The lyrics remind me of bill wurtz

  36. C.... H....

    Good shit

  37. M.... A....

    Does anyone know if there is an instrumental version?

  38. M.... E....

    I relate so much

  39. s.... ....

    I just turned 30, and I can no longer listen to this song without tearing up. I know there is a whole life just waiting for me outside, but I continue locking myself up inside this cage I keep with me wherever I go... I am happy that I have friends, family and hobbies to keep me going and challenging my boundaries.

  40. J.... ....

    I can't relate but I love this song!

  41. H.... n....

    Is this on iTunes? I love it so much !<3

  42. T.... S....

    This Is One Of The Deepest Tunes I've Ever Heard...

  43. L.... ....

    I love this song but cant relate

  44. A.... y....

    Wow my life.

  45. R.... ....

    The "ahhh--ahhayahaha" part sounds like the audio for the introduction for caroline?

  46. F.... ....

    relatate to the second verse but HECK I'm a total extrovert but no one ever wants to talk to me! :(

  47. S.... /....

    My teacher passed out a piece of paper that had good and bad personality traits. One of them looked like this:
    Good Bad
    Extrovert Introvert
    I circled introvert and thought,
    "Whats so bad about being an introvert?"

  48. A.... C....

    Everyone: This song is SO me!
    Me: This tune, for some reason, makes me think of Coraline the Movie.

  49. H.... G....

    Heavy Eviebot Vibes

    No but seriously this is relatable- No, WAS relatable to ME before

  50. S.... S....

    this is now my theme song. cuz i can relate to this song so much ;w;

  51. D.... K....

    The great thing about introversion is that if you ever feel like you are alone. Just look through this comment section. It seems like introverts rule the Internet and almost anyone here would probably love to talk. Because, let's be honest, we're not going to relate to others in person XD

  52. B.... ....

    Who knew someone could make a song so relatable to me and everyone else

  53. p.... ....

    Hi i'm an extrovert and i'm listening to stuff like this :D

  54. H.... _....

    -this song is about me-
    wow! this song is well made!
    *cough*

  55. T.... C....

    to listen to this after only ever thinking of Lilly Allen as the fuck you song girl, this is a pleasent surprise :3

  56. A.... O....

    can I join the introvert club, please? lmao

  57. B.... ....

    This song reminds me of the movie "Coraline"... I love it, but not for the reason because it reminds me of that movie. Its... relatable.

    B.... ....

    jsjka late as heck but I thought that to

  58. C.... ....

    Relatable, sadly. I like this song, it, I dunno, songs that I can relate to make me happy. :)

  59. R.... G....

    is this song on Amazon music? I am in love with this song. and need it.

  60. P.... c....

    I always draw for hours trying to not "waste a day" or i feel down...Lucky i've got an amazing friend to help me

  61. W.... a....

    1:29 Mystic messenger in the nutshell

    W.... a....

    Dans old Piano teacher EYYYYY MYSTIC MESSENGER

  62. V.... _....

    I sometimes relate to this song even though at school I can't be left alone but at home the only person who calls me is A girl named Kyleigh and it's very relatable.......

  63. T.... R....

    This sounds like something from a disney movie.

  64. R.... D....

    can anyone explain to me why the heck this song reminds me of that space movie Passenger??

    (btw that movie was AWESOME)

  65. D.... (....

    Lyrics hits right on the nail! Thank you, writers of 'Why'?

  66. E.... ....

    this is totally me

  67. A.... B....

    Guys. This song seriously reminds me of the Wubble Bubble ball. Just listen to the lyrics. If my Wubble Bubble had a theme song this would certainly be it, ami rite?

  68. T.... S....

    I love this song so much omg. Other songs like this that really relate to me just make me feel all depressed, but this is actually optimistic, for a song about being lonely ;v; srsly though, I have so many people numbers but noooo body calls. It frustrates me when I find the group went out and did something fun without me.. which is always..

  69. L.... K....

    💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗I luv this song

  70. H.... ....

    Was this in Coraline? Sorry, it just sounds like it

    H.... ....

    HashbrownInkk nope it's not *BUT I WANT IT TO SO BAD*

  71. D.... C....

  74. m.... ....

  75. G.... ....

    This isn't me at all, not one bit but more of my old self or how I see other people

  76. c.... c....

    I can relate to some lines tbh

  77. C.... ....

  88. ,.... I....

    Introvert-ism is sooo much fun when you stuck to something for so long, that you lose a sense of exploration and change.

    =/ Change is hard, especially with so many other factors, but at the back of your mind you know you need it, for the best.

  89. R.... ....

    I USED to relate, but I finally found a group of friends that I can hang out with! The trick is not to be someone who your not. I tried to be funny... I'm not. Now I am the only somewhat serious person of the group :D

    R.... ....

    second option goes for me :)
    i thought i replied to you?? hahaha

    R.... ....

    Same and the quiet one of the friend group

    R.... ....

    Good for you!

    R.... ....

    Same, i tried to not be weird, but then i gave up the act and acted how i would normally.
    i thought id be an outcast, but i found other people that were weird. now im the captain of the group known as the S.S. kidney, and im honestly happy with that. :3
