Interpretation
Tell Me Why re-cut is a bellyful of grievance: 'why do you get to treat me like this?' Not elegant, just wants an answer.
I love that 'won't pretend to be the bigger person' honesty: the wronged get to be angry. In 2021 the defiance remains but steadier — not still hating, just settling the score.
