Why - Shawn Mendes

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 want to 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
