Personification

Why by Jason Aldean

It's 3 AM and I finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why

[CHORUS]
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you

I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside

[CHORUS]
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you

Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you

In the second stanza of this song, he states "why do i always use the words that cut the deepest." This shows personification becuase, words can not cut.

Another Try by Josh Turner

All the things I've felt and never shared.
All the times that she was lonely with me there.
Tears I wouldn't let fall from my eyes.
And how I let her go without a fight.

The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart.
But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life.
If love ever gives me another try.

There's no changing things that we regret.
The best that we can hope for is one more chance.
If the hands of time could just move in reverse.
I wouldn't make the same mistake again with her.

The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart.
But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life.
If love ever gives me another try.

Oh the reasons I'm alone I know by heart.
But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life,
If love ever gives me another try.

Oh if love ever gives me another try.

In the second stanza Josh says "If love ever gives me another try." This is personification because love can not simply give someone a try.
