I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know You ask me for my love then you push me around You tell me that you want me then cut down So you're the only thing on my mind Tell Me Why Chords/Lyrics/Chorus Tell me why Tell Me Why Chords/Lyrics/Bridge You tell me that you want me, then push me around Tell me why Tell Me Why Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2įorget what I'm trying to say, oh Tell Me Why Chords/Lyrics/Chorus Makes me run for cover when you're aroundĪnd I know that you see what you're doing to me ![]() You tell me that you love me then cut me down Rather than following up with another “take” to parallel the first verse, Swift peacefully lets her partner go.And you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm notĪnd down here from the ground I see who you are Tell Me Why Chords/Lyrics/Chorus Swift “take a step back,” reversing the usual meaning of take (gaining possession) to depict a loss of ground. Thankfully, the song ends with Swift ending the relationship and replacing the violent imagery. Swift depicted severe physical dysfunction during her breakup in Breathe, but all six elements of her wellness were in danger during the relationship. Social: Swift only depicts herself in one relationship in this song and it is contentious rather than harmonious. Intellectual: The entire experience has been intellectually disorienting as well: “I get so confused and frustrated / Forget what I’m trying to say.” Spiritual: Even Swift’s faith is challenged: “I’ve got no one to believe in.” Occupational: The verbal abuse has even distracted Swift from her work: “Why do you have to put down my dreams / So you’re the only thing on my mind?” Physical: In addition to the violent imagery outlined above, Swift repeatedly states that this relationship has made her “sick and tired,” says that he “push around” and reveals that she needs to “run for cover when around.”Įmotional: Compounding the physical imagery, Swift alludes to multiple instances of verbal abuse: “Yes I remember what you said last night,” “Why do you have to make me feel small?” and “You tell me that you want me, and cut me down.”
