Why - Shawn Mendes, Leon Bridges

I know a girl, she’s like a curse

We want each other, no one will break first

So many nights, trying to find someone new

They don’t mean nothing compared to her, and I know

When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off

I don’t know why we act like it means nothing at all

I wish that I could tell you that you’re all that I want, yeah

I pretend that

I’m not ready

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

And you say «hi» like

You just met me

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe

Can’t help but think every song’s about me

And every line, every word that I write

You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh

Don’t wanna ask about it 'cause you might brush it off

I’m afraid you think that it means nothing at all

I don’t know why I won’t admit that you’re all I want

I pretend that

I’m not ready

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

And you say «hi» like

You just met me

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

I pretend that

I’m not ready

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

And you say «hi» like

You just met me

Why do we put each other through hell?

Why can’t we just get over ourselves?

I know a girl, she’s like a curse

We want each other, no one will break first

So many nights, trying to find someone new

They don’t mean nothing compared to you
