MerahPutih.com - Lagu “Why” merupakan salah satu track dari grup band indie pop asal Amerika Serikat, LANY, yang termasuk dalam album terbaru mereka berjudul Soft.
Karya ini hadir sebagai sebuah balada yang sarat emosi dan makna mendalam, menyoroti tema cinta sebagai jawaban utama atas segala pertanyaan eksistensial dalam kehidupan manusia.

Secara keseluruhan, Why dapat dipandang sebagai bentuk pengakuan cinta yang paling jujur dari sang vokalis, Paul Klein, yang menegaskan bahwa sosok pasangannya adalah alasan utama—the why—yang membuat hidupnya terasa berarti dan layak dijalani.
Berikut lirik lengkapnya:
Who will I be when I'm older?
Where will I be when it ends?
How would it feel if I told ya
You're the only one making it make any sense
You're the why I think that there's a heaven
You're the why I never wanna go
You're the why I never waste a second
Asking questions I don't need to know
Like who holds the stars right where they are
What really happens when we die
No matter how it all plays out
As long as I am still alive
You're the why, you're the why
What did I do to deserve you?
How long are you gonna stay?
What if I swear I won't hurt you?
Do you think I could wake up with you every day?
Really nothing else matters to me anyway
You're the why I think that there's a heaven
You're the why I never wanna go
You're the why I never waste a second
Asking questions I don't need to know
Like who holds the stars right where they are
What really happens when we die
No matter how it all plays out
As long as I am still alive
You're the why, you're the why
It's because of you that I'm breathing
It's because of you that I'm still here
It's because of you, you're the reason
You make all the bad things disappear
You're the why I think that there's a heaven
You're the why I never wanna go
You're the why I never waste a second
Asking questions I don't need to know
Like who holds the stars right where they are
What really happens when we die
No matter how it all plays out
As long as I am still alive
You're the why, you're the why
You're the why, you're the why. (far)
