There’s no use in crying, it’s all over
But I know there’ll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You make me feel, I just can’t carry on
But I know I won’t always be that way
‘Cos my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You don’t have to give up
Why is it all wrong
Why don’t you love me
Why won’t you just be strong

The lyrics to Why are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Fleetwood Mac in 1973. Elements of the lyrics to Why are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Fleetwood Mac and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Why back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Why by Fleetwood Mac in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Why" means the words set to the music of Why, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Fleetwood Mac. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Why and the lyrics to Why are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Fleetwood Mac who came here looking just for the lyrics to Why, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
