Hayley Williams - Why We Ever [Official Lyric Video]

This song feels like the moments you remember someone who isn’t with you anymore and you’re trying to remember why things are different now and you wonder what that person is up to. It’s kind of sad to think about because I’m reminded of a friendship that I lost but I don’t think I could’ve done more to have kept it. Edit: 2.5k likes 🥺 I’m sorry y’all are hurt just as I was. Hoping y’all are better💕

[@brianpatterson1126]

The only problem I have with Hayley's music is that the actual instrumental doesn't fit the lyrics. The lyrics have this very sad undertone and you don't get that from the actual music, it's too upbeat, a lot of her songs have this problem.

[@hyphe_n.]

Brian Patterson most of after laughter is that way. I can’t speak for herself but maybe the actual instrumental is the light in these dark situations she’s gone through. Not ever sad song has to sound sad and maybe those aren’t the emotions she wants her audience to feel :)

Yours is probably the accurate take on it, but I relate to it a different way - when someone worries about some habit of mine which they might think is not healthy, and I'm just like... I'm sorry you freaked out, but don't overreact, let me keep on living as I am.

I just love how Hayley had such a skyrocketing carreer with paramore and is still a really famous artist and even though all that happened she is still a normal person driving her own car and having normal peoples problems. That's what makes her so authentic and that's what I love about her music. Stay as you are, we love you exactly the way you are.

[@Jelismiles]

This 🙌🏻

[@jaredpendley6960]

Very true.

[@MrMikkyn]

She is actually very relatable. I used to play in a band that covered her songs when I was a teenager in high school. She was a very fierce out there performer, and I love what has happened with Petals for Armour. How she has mellowed out, become introspective and talking about therapy in her interviews.

[@rosagallegos7662]

When after laughter came out I was going through a breakup and every song on that album somehow related to how I felt in the relationship. Despite breaking up we remained friends and though it was never the same, I felt comfortable. But the past couple months I just felt very confused and still hurt and I’ve decided I can’t be friends with this person anymore. This whole release of petals for armor has been really comforting and has been healing me. I’m just so grateful for Hayley for being there for me through such hard times (pun not intended) 🧡

[@RayStunnaaa]

[@britanysaurus]

Hope u are doing okay during quarentine friend. I am in the same boat. Friends with someone who used to be my s/o is just too hard. And sometimes you need to draw a line (between wrath and mercy) for YOURSELF and not the other person. You need to be happy body and mind. If the hurt is too great best to let go even though it might hurt. It will hurt worse to carry them with you. Youre not alone! Take it day by day. You can do this! 🙏🏼😁

this song came at such a perfect time. i’m in a phase where i keep losing people in my life, and i don’t feel like there’s anything i can do about it but accept it as it is. but sometimes, i tend to miss the other person and i just want to talk about why, and what happened? why we ever felt the need to say goodbye?

[@chrishelios9208]

Are these people good for you? Are they helping you move forward in life and do they want the best for you? If so, they will be there for you in time but if not, then you are meant to find better people.

[@poppypineapple9885]

If it was a fallout with someone then you have nothing to lose when you ask them. If they dont respond whether it's you or their fault they were being immature about it and realize it's time to take that slow journey of acceptance of loss. Believe me I've been through it my bestfriend left me out of the blue after just one arguement and she never has spoken to me again, so I understand the difficulty of living on without closure

[@sydneyjudd4882]

I hope you can use this hard time in your life as a chance to grow and become the person you want to be ❤️ I know it can be hard to see the bright side in troubling times, but eventually you will get through it and the pain behind it will go away, so in the mean time you should try to make the most of every situation.

It’s funny because every day while I was living with my boyfriend during quarantine, I would go swim in the creek next door and listen to Hayley’s songs. At first Why We Ever was my favorite, but when Crystal Clear released I was in love. I realize now it’s because I truly could not relate to Why We Ever yet, and was in a happy relationship I felt made me relate to Crystal Clear more. But in the end my happy relationship was a facade as I found my boyfriend in bed with someone else. When I hear this song something in me feels so much more raw than I ever have, and the emotion touches me more than when I had my break up. I feel experience makes us find beauty in more things, and I’m sad Hayley experienced this pain too, and many other people, but at least we are not alone.

[@eerienah]

[@michaellaporte]

This song just gets me. When she starts playing the piano at 1:54, and you can hear the keys lifting and the bench creaking, I had like goosebumps, because it sounds just like my creaking old piano that I play when I'm in a slump sometimes. Just such a beautiful song . I think if I had heard this song in 2016/2017, it probably would have destroyed me.

[@ToniArcelinni]

That's my favorite part. It makes me so relaxed

[@jordrl66]

I am not sure whether you will be able to find it on KZbin but a month or so ago when Hayley was doing Instagram live's her and Joey played this, better than the sunday session video they put on YT with a extended outro with the piano. Even more amazing!!

Who else has played this like 100 times already? I feel as though every song of Paramore that has come out since 2005 when I was a teenager I have been able to relate to at each stage of my life, each song released at the perfect time. As an adult, it is amazing to still relate to albums such as After Laughter and equally relate to Petals For Armor now. Love from South Africa!

[@mjlsantillan]

This is exactly why they're my favorite band. I always found it weird and at the same time amazing that their songs just come at the right time in my life and now even Hayley's songs hit me where it hurts. They comfort me during tough times.

[@ReelMusicFreak]

I agree I love pretty much every single song

[@latinadiva79]

[@PurpleNinjas297]

isn't it incredible that we all have some degree of that same feeling? that as Paramore grew, we grew with them. They remain to be my favourite band and hayley my favourite frontwoman. I feel their music to an extent that I'm unable to feel with any other. They're special to us.

@James did you take your meds?

[@Monxtv]

@James Haha well, that's nice from you cause you still had the chance to say something mean and you chose not to. Ok so I do believe that there are so many things that can fit the situation, but also... I do believe that life is all conected in a way that you can always find patterns and coincidences. Maybe this could be all planned but at the same time.. to be so sure that Hayley's beatiful art, heart and music is part of the whole conspiracy.. mmh... I feel something totally different when I look and listen to her. But hey, I'm also not looking for signs to confirm a theory. I'd say its a good thing that you question the situation, keep doing that, but don't let that distract you from beautiful things that could actually mean something else. Just my advice :) There's always thousands of people who spend the weekend at home always and talk about it, I bet is not the first time someone mentions it. What you say about people planning this could be true, but what I say about it being a coincidence many times, could be true also.

[@Monxtv]

James well hailey seems pretty independent in all these things she has been posting. Anyways, in the end we are humans and we are naturally curious. You can do that, just set aside some time of the day to enjoy art and not think about anything else, most of the good things we enjoy today maybe came from a bad intention of someone in the past and we don’t even know it, so we already do that. Keep questioning, but don’t let that interfere with your own mental health! Art is important for that. Have a nice day :)

Every pivotal moment in my life paramore and Hayley Williams has be there, helping me through it all. I can’t help but cry from pure happiness when I hear this album and hear her singing.

[@MrMikkyn]

Not everybody can handle our demons or even understand what we are going through, or they would have to empathise. Empathise with the pain that we went through, only a wounded healer could speak to us about those things, Not everyone has the power to heal whatever things are happening inside of us, sometimes there are, sometimes we even want people to heal us even when they can't, to share the what darkness we have inside with them, but we are left alone to our own devices, our shadows are left outside the door whilst the other person is behind it, we don't know what they are thinking. Maybe they are guilty, maybe they are hurt, maybe they don't trust us, maybe they are ashamed, maybe they are shocked, they have gone, they have disappeared and we miss them so much. Emotions so powerful that no simple answer will heal the pain, no amount of talking or silence will make us forget that pain, but perhaps acceptance and understanding, perhaps forgiveness, perhaps introspection, nobody knows. We miss those we who love and had memories with, bittersweet memories of pain and love, of joy and sadness, and the person is at a distance. They are so far unlike when we were best friends. And they filled that void that was in us for a short moment, but the void kept growing, it grew so fast and we fell through and we can only heal and learn to live with that void that absorbs us, learn to accept and let go, to destroy and recreate ourselves anew.

For me, this song feels like two people got separated by choice because they simply chose to grow. They never feel the need to say goodbye because, at some point, they know they will gonna meet again with a healed version of themselves.

Every song and every lyrics interpret my whole situation these days.

[@chingonsit0]

This is the song from this masterpiece of an album that I identify with the most. I am a very shy person, and the only person I ever trusted in was him. My best friend. He moved out from our neighborhood 6 months ago and I remember that I really liked him, but I could never talk about it with him because we both come from very Catholic families, and to them being gay is a sin. I remember listening to this song when he was about to leave. I remember crying to this song just because of the thought of him, and all of the beautiful things and places I could never have imagined I experienced with him. And I regret not saying anything to him sooner, out of fear of being rejected, both by him and by our families. I admire Hayley very much for her willpower against the problems she has suffered, and for all her trajectory as a singer, and I thank her for sharing with the world her talent, her lyrics that inspire and motivate many people. From a small town in the desert of Arizona, I thank you, Hayley, for reminding me with your music of all those beautiful moments that life brought me. I love you very much, thank you for everything

[@cesarsalad321]

This song is such a gem honestly.. it resembles that same emotion from AWKIF and it just brings nostalgia to me

[@Camot3Elot3]

This song has been so meaningful for me, and it reminds me how important it is to not have my closure to be contingent on someone else. I'm still learning this and practicing it, but in the moments that I do find myself wishing for closure and communication from someone I don't talk to anymore, I need to remind myself to be patient with myself and that healing isn't linear. What I love about the Petals for Amour album is that it's a reflection of how healing moves around, and how it challenges me to find that healing outside of others' perception and to move on to people who do hold space for me, to not only be myself, and love me in the capacities that reassure me that I am going to be okay.

Even if they won't let me, I will keep trying, thank you Hayley. For sharing, for trying to be a better person. Because a lot of us want to be better too and this music helps us access these memories and traumas and try to work through them even when there's no one to work them through with. Hopefully we all work through them, and those that don't have the opportunity can return to this beautiful representation of life through music, through art distilled into a precious song, a shard of a gemstone crystal that shines bright in the darkest of nights in a desolate and lonely desert. A memory, sounds, piano, voice, lyrics, melody.

This whole CD has been extremely transformative to my soul. Just left a seriously abusive relationship in February and this has been the best medicine to heal my heart. Her music is always so fitting for whatever I’m dealing with at the time. It just breaks my heart thinking of her broken heart. She is such a beautiful and amazing soul💜

[@LarissaCristinaW]

this song is so beautiful i feel like crying. so blessed to live in the same time as you do, hayley.

[@mariaclaralagrizola7106]

That carwash scene was oddly so satisfying 🥺

[@choaya_a_fada]

this makes me think of an old friend i had and it makes me weirdly sad,,,,,,,,,,

[@sashaozuna]

same here, a weird feeling

[@orangeeeeeeeeae5774]

SAME

[@cintiap.434]

sameeeee

[@sumeyyeozdemir1]

💙

[@rafuresia]

Same, it reminds me of my ex bestfriend

[@luwzas]

hayley realeasing music is the only good thing of 2020, thanks queen

[@ivorimusic3660]

Luiza Lima SERIOUSLY I TOTALLY AGREE high five 🙌

[@Ana-qy6xj]

Hayley really made it sure that her true emotions reach us. She's really being 'naked' here. I truly adore her.

[@d.e.r.e.k33]

Driving at night in the rain with this song playing. Like, damn, hits me right in my sentimentalness. Hayley you’re amazing.

[@Greengridge]

This gives me "After Laughter" vibes 😍♥️

[@divdav08]

The writing process for this began around that era

[@FakeAccount-fd5ne]

Fun fact: Hayley sung all the songs on After Laughter

[@theboyhasnoname]

"BRING ON PETALS FOR ARMOR I'M SO READY FOR IT!!!!!!" Hayley: No, you're not.

[@AngryAquarius]

LMAO WE'RE REALLY NOT.

[@bibtii9691]

This hurt me in a way, that I didn’t know there was a place in me left, that could break. Felt every word and it took me back to that time, when I felt at my darkest. It’s incredibly, beautifully sung, written.

[@xLaurieMusicx]

Even though the lyrics do not correspond to my (love) life, I feel extreme grief while listening to it. Especially from the piano part on, I just start crying. I come here every once in a while just to cry, and it somehow relieves me. Thanks Hayley for making this happen, thanks for your music.

[@PJOBiggestFan]

I've listened to this song so much, but today it hit so differently. I've been having a hard time dealing with a breakup. I'm still coming to terms with why we broke up and how much it really affected me. Thank you for writing this.

[@christophermichaelft]

[Verse 1] Open your mouth Say something warm I've spent a while On the stranger's side of your door How do you sound? What do you look like now? I try to replicate our movements in my mind [Chorus] And now I Can't seem to remember why we ever Felt we had to say goodbye I can't seem to remember why Can't seem to remember why [Verse 2] Tin-can telephone From your home to my home I can't feel your energy no more No more, no more (No more, no more, no more) No more, no more, ha-ah No more, no more (No more, no more, no more) No more, no more, ha-ah No more, no more [Chorus] And now I Can't seem to remember why we ever Felt we had to say goodbye Can't seem to remember why Darling we ever Can't seem to remember why [Bridge] I spent the weekend at home again Drawing circles on the floor Tried to keep myself from hurting Don't know why anymore [Outro] I just wanna talk about it I know I freaked you out I just wanna talk about it Sorry for freaking out I just wanna talk about it I know I freaked you out I just wanna talk about it Sorry for freaking out Sorry for freaking out I just wanna talk about it Sorry for freaking out I just wanna talk about it Sorry for freaking out

[@taylorkowalczyk3003]

Oh my heart. These songs bring so much emotion. I literally just had these thoughts about a relationship. I reflect on so much now and have to remind myself why I chose to leave.

[@j-x3102]

"have to remind myself why I chose to leave" ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Heath91]

So good to see a road trip footage while we're in quarantine times. Even better with a great sound like this one. Thanks, Hayley.

[@garrypotter5323]

Nothing makes a person happier, more than a love of life! The love of life cannot be realized without understanding its value! The value of life cannot be understood without knowing its burdens! And only knowing her burden, you can say with confidence - I’m alive! With all the love for Haley!

[@ne9958]

Hayley's new music is so raw and emotional. The chords that she strikes are pretty deep. Beautiful throughout. This is the talent that I was hoping would shine through when I had heard it in moments before. It's everything that the world needs right now, a very real and genuine personal touch to a world that has become strange and disconnected. I hope that she gets the acclaim that she genuinely deserves for these new songs.

[@teresawhite3496]

The simplicity of the lyrics - they hit so hard. Hayley, you're a smart one. Thank you so much for giving us this. 😭

[@mabs2]

when hayley said “no more” i felt that

[@ode603]

"Tin can telephone from your home to my home. I can't feel your energy no more." WOW

[@sarahpsuedonym714]

I love this video/song for so many reasons. The overload/freakout; the feeling of an old "right people wrong time" to "wrong people right time." The driving reflecting both fun road trips and the surreal-ness of driving alone in the dark, crying because nothing is right. Ignore me relating too hard

[@nattbalderrama6012]

not sure how to describe it.. but this song made me feel again. thank you for sharing your beautiful imagination

[@ludmilateixeira6449]

"Sorry for freaking out." When I lost my mind for anything

[@dferrero]

I haven’t listened to the whole thing but I’ve already left a like because I know it’s a BOP

[@ehhmy]

Dea Ferrer a bop, or therapy: a concept

[@samedhaarora7048]

This album just made me a fan of Joey Howard on the bass ❤❤

[@ellaella9320]

Big yeah!

[@brianaRaeS2]

Haley is just legendary. I have this feeling that she's one of those artists that's going to be composing/making music until the end when we're all old and grey. We're all on her journey with her, and should recognize/appreciate her work. Thank you again, Haley Williams.

[@keksuntee]

After watching this I suddenly need an ASMR video called "Hayley Williams drives you home on a rainy night". Don't really know why. She just has that aura of safety about her. PS. I've only recently listened to Petals for Armor and it's really damn good. Definitely my album of the year.

[@Riotb0y]

Wow, that powerful transition at the song/video... the first part is so happy and brighter, the middle is kinda blurry and the end is all dark and sad. GOD, I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH!!! 🌺

[@krnmmrls]

I never clicked so fast. truly a quarantine savior

[@elodyluna]

It’s not even just the lyrics that feel relatable to my life the past years. It’s the whole feel, transcendental. I want to share a big hug with everyone who’s just been healing and going through the pain. ♥️

[@robertanderton3015]

Hate seems to always speak louder then positivity. But remember Haley you do this job for your life and for others. Do what you can, and fade those worries away step after another.

[@andrewr3169]

"I spent the weekend at home again drawing circles on the floor tried to keep myself from hurting don't know why anymore" Are probably some of the most relatable quarantine lyrics that were released during quarantine. This song has meant so much for the past year+

[@elthehuman7032]

Fans: "I feel awful for cutting ties with people Being true with my emotions Feel alienated Abandoned Left Out to Dry I feel like the world is moving on without me I feel like I have to please the world around me to be "me" and I dont know how to stop." Petals for Armor: "no more".

[@kathoth2263]

The moment she is driving in the dark... wow it looks just like the road I used to take to visit my ex and that was a real sucker punch in the gut. All of the emotions and feelings I had when driving to see her... Didn't expect to revisit that. So impactful.

[@starisesun7692]

Damn...

[@mayonmtbdude8260]

Dear Hayley, I’ve loved you and your songs more than a decade has passed already but the love is still there. Depression ain’t a joke and I sure hope you get through it like how your songs helped me growing up. You deserve all the love Hayley.

[@TheJRo]

How come whenever Hayley sings about something, somehow we’re all feeling the same way at the same exact time? 🤷‍♂️

[@LawrenceTan]

That electric piano interlude before the bridge takes me to a deep, sad world.

[@AddictedToFandoms]

This song reminds me so much of the friendship I lost recently. Ironically, they got me into Paramore and Hayley’s music. And this is one of their fav songs.

[@pedroetaly]

Thanks Hayley for this masterpiece! I had a bad relationship in the past, and I never had the chance to put it out of me in a powerfull way. I listened to this song and I made 5 songs about this relationship I had and my world is totally light now!

[@andersonsodo1097]

i've passed that part where you are addicted to the album and you go back to listen to particular songs and this is one of them... has been stucked in my head all morning, tks Hayley

[@amberhandrail7037]

The bass is just immaculate, omg that bass line is just so good

[@afterlaughtre]

THAT CARWASH SCENE IS THE CLOSEST I'LL EVER GET TO SHOWERING

[@boka-baka]

- go shower

[@starisesun7692]

Ew lmfao 😂

[@speakingintothevoid8319]

Wow. This song brought me back to my heartbreak moment. Ugh. Does anyone else have this? I’m married, HAPPY and no I dont miss my first love but I never had closure. We dated from when I was 13-18, talked about marriage, kids and we just grew up together and when I turned 18 he’s just decided to ignore me. We had all the same Friends and acted like I didn’t exist. Never broke up with me but he just acted like I wasn’t alive. I lost my best friend and the man I loved. Again, no I don’t love him but I wish I could get the reason to why cause me so much pain ya know? We promised if anything happened we would tell each other. We would end it the right way. I just wish it wouldn’t still bug me, the not knowing. Well enough from me, no one will even read this lol love you guys 💕

[@christiansam8293]

Letii R you know, I appreciate you saying this. I feel like sometimes it’s best to not know, it may keep a hook in you, so to speak. It’s just prolonged pain in a way

[@speakingintothevoid8319]

Christian Sam I hear ya! But at this point any answer is okay with me no matter how bad lol because I mean I’m happily married but it’s just that thing that comes back and starts to but my brain. But I think what may husband told me might be true, I’ll never know 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SadieMc81]

I had a similar situation and it always hooks me in too.

[@fistofram5526]

Anyone who decides to exclude me from their life isn't even close to being worthy of my attention, let alone my hate. People who are gone are gone, they've done their choice.

[@MSltdbin]

The absolute pure genius of all of these songs I honestly can't handle it, you and the musicians you surround yourself with are BEYOND talented. This is one of the most amazing albums I've heard in my life so far and I don't say that lightly!

[@emilyvalenciaa]

I was date raped by the one man I loved at age 15. I'm 17 now - 18 in a week. I haven't properly healed. Though time has done its thing, it hasn't finished yet. This song is absolutely shattering, as it captures my feelings entirely. I've felt alone for 2 and a half years, and pushed away so many people that I miss and love, simply because the grieving got the best of me. This song is so important; the idea of feeling guilty for feeling depressed is something that is never spoken about. Not knowing where to turn, and convincing yourself that everything you know is your fault, are emotions I know too well. I'm very happy to know I'm not the only one in this. This album is fantastic, but this song deserves the most praise.

[@ShafnatNaufalsketch]

Hi Emily. Be strong, okay? We had feelings for the same song, i think we all here should support each other.

[@AmarayShelton]

I don't know why, but knowing most of the roads she's driving makes me happy and calm.

[@kiwiverde8592]

Do you know where are they?

[@AmarayShelton]

@@kiwiverde8592 Yes, I'm from the same place she is lol

[@olivepostle]

this song means so much to me. i always listen to it when i'm going through a hard time. it's my favorite on the entire album. thank you for this one, hayley.
