Country singer Mickey Guyton Why Baby Why song tells a story of heartbreak and the pain of attempting to get over a prior romantic relationship. Mickey was born in Arlington, Texas in lived in several cities across the lone star state. She began her singing roots performing gospel in church when she was only five years old and grew up listening to a variety of artists, including Dolly Parton, LeAnn Rimes, Whitney Houston and gospel innovators BeBe and CeCe Winans. “Those were huge influences,” she says, recalling a particularly pivotal moment. “I was at a Texas Rangers baseball game and LeAnn Rimes was singing the National Anthem. This was right when she came out with ‘Blue’. I was completely mesmerized.”
Mickey moved to Nashville in 2011 to pursue her dream and has embedded herself in the town’s songwriter community the last three years. Watch her live performance of “Why Baby Why” and check out the lyrics to this emotional country tune below.

Why Baby Why Lyrics
Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
Our old picture frames are empty
I burned all your letters, I took off your ring
But what can I do with these memories
Keeping me up ’til the dawn, hanging on like you’re coming back
But you ain’t coming back
So tell me why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
Ohh I try baby try baby try
But your love just won’t leave me alone
I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
Why, baby, why?
I close my eyes when I kiss his lips
Praying this time I will see you
I’m real good at lying to everyone else
But I just can’t lie to myself
When the truth is a shadow that follows me
Haunting me just like a ghost, if you’re just a ghost
Tell me why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
Ohh I try baby try baby try
But your love just won’t leave me alone
I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
Why, baby, why?
I saw your taillights fade into the dark
And my head knows but there’s no convincing my heart
So tell me why, baby, why, baby
Why, baby, why won’t you let me let go?
Ohh I try baby try baby try
But your love just won’t leave me alone
I can’t stop the hurt, numb the pain
Cool the burn, kill the ache
No matter how hard that I
Cry, baby, cry
You know that I’m crying
Why, baby, why?
