Why Lyrics - Shawn Mendes

[Verse 1] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus] 

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

[Chorus] 

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? 

[Verse 2] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus] 

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

I'm afraid it you think it means something at all 

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

[Chorus] 

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? 

[Instrumental] 

[Chorus] 

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? 

[Outro] 

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
