Lyrics

Why*

Lyrics from snippets 1 and 2

[Verse: John Legend, Teyana Taylor, & Both]

...

We paid at this together

Her words are forever

You suddenly change your mind

So I took something special

Paint it in lies

I don't know why (I don't know why)

...

I'm convicted and I don't know who?

...

For my trial, I'm convicted

[Chorus: Kid Cudi (with John Legend)]

I don't know why?

I don't know why?

I don't know why?
