"Tell Me Why" (en español: "Dime por qué") es la octava canción del segundo álbum de estudio de Taylor Swift, Fearless (2008). Lanzada el 11 de noviembre de 2008 a través de Big Machine Records, la canción fué escrita por Swift junto a Liz Rose, y producida por Swift con Nathan Chapman.

"Tell Me Why" trata sobre una relación intermitente con un interés amoroso informal.

Desarrollo y composición[]

"Tell Me Why" fue provocada por un interés amoroso con el que nunca tuvo una relación romántica formal. Enfurecida por su comportamiento despectivo e inconsistente hacia ella,[1] Swift irrumpió en la casa de Rose y se desahogó sobre el escenario. Ella describió cómo se cansó de su actitud y las discrepancias entre sus dichos y acciones, entre otras preocupaciones. En consecuencia, pusieron todas sus divagaciones en la canción.[2]

"Tell Me Why" abre con violines country y, en la mezcla, incorpora ritmos de batería sincopados inspirados en el rock alternativo y el hip hop de la década de 1990 y guitarras inspiradas en el rock.

Letra[]

I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me, then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
That makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know, that you see, what you're doing to me
Tell me why

You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what I'm trying to say, oh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
That makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know, that you see, what you're doing to me
Tell me why

Why do you have to make me feel small
So you can feel whole inside?
Why do you have to put down my dreams
So you're the only thing on my mind?

I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you want me, then cut me down
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I've got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love, then you push me around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why (why)
Tell me why (why)

I take a step back, let you go
I told you I'm not bulletproof
Now you know
