Why
Scott Harris Friedman, Shawn Mendes, Teddy Geiger
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
I know a girl, she's like a curse
Ich kenne ein Mädchen, sie ist wie ein Fluch
We want each other, no one will break first
Wir wollen uns gegenseitig, niemand wird zuerst aufgeben
So many nights, trying to find someone new
So viele Nächte, versucht jemand Neues zu finden
They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know
Sie bedeuten nichts im Vergleich zu ihr, und das weiß ich
When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off
Wenn Leute uns jetzt fragen, weisen wir es einfach ab
I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all
Ich weiß nicht, warum wir so tun, als würde es nichts bedeuten
I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah
Ich wünschte, ich könnte dir sagen, dass du alles bist, was ich will, ja
I pretend that I'm not ready
Ich tue so, als wäre ich nicht bereit
Why do we put each other through hell?
Warum machen wir uns gegenseitig zur Hölle?
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
Warum können wir nicht einfach über uns hinwegkommen?
And you say hi like you just met me
Und du sagst hallo, als hättest du mich gerade erst kennengelernt
Why do we put each other through hell?
Warum machen wir uns gegenseitig zur Hölle?
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
Warum können wir nicht einfach über uns hinwegkommen?
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
Warum können wir nicht einfach über uns hinwegkommen?
When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe
Wenn ich dich singen höre, fällt es mir schwer zu atmen
Can't help but think every song's about me
Kann nicht anders, als zu denken, dass jedes Lied von mir handelt
And every line, every word that I write
Und jede Zeile, jedes Wort, das ich schreibe
You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh
Du bist die Muse in meinem Hinterkopf, oh
Don't want to ask about it 'cause you might brush it off
Ich will nicht danach fragen, weil du es vielleicht abtust
I'm afraid you think that it means nothing at all
Ich habe Angst, du denkst, dass es nichts bedeutet
I don't know why I won't admit that you're all I want
Ich weiß nicht, warum ich nicht zugeben will, dass du alles bist, was ich will
I pretend that I'm not ready
Ich tue so, als wäre ich nicht bereit
Why do we put each other through hell?
Warum machen wir uns gegenseitig zur Hölle?
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
Warum können wir nicht einfach über uns hinwegkommen?
And you say hi like you just met me
Und du sagst hallo, als hättest du mich gerade erst kennengelernt
Why do we put each other through hell?
Warum machen wir uns gegenseitig zur Hölle?
Why can't we just get over ourselves?
Warum können wir nicht einfach über uns hinwegkommen?
I pretend that I'm not ready
Ich tue so, als wäre ich nicht bereit
Why do we put each other through hell?

You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh
Você é a musa na parte de trás da minha mente, oh
Don't want to ask about it 'cause you might brush it off
Não quero perguntar sobre isso porque você pode ignorar
