Why (Remix)

[Verse 1: 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

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes]

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: Shawn Mendes]

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: Leon Bridges]

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: Shawn Mendes & Leon Bridges]

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

[Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Leon Bridges]

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 Bridge]

[Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Leon Bridges]

I pretend that (Pretending like I’m not) I'm not ready (I'm pretending like I mean)

Why do we put each other through hell? (Yeah, yeah)

Why can't we just get over ourselves? (Why, why, why)

And you say "hi" like you just met me

Why do we put each other through hell? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why can't we just get over ourselves?

[Outro: 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 you
