  1. I know a girl, she's like a curse

  2. We want each other, no one will break first

  3. So many nights, trying to find someone new

  4. They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know

  5. When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off

  6. I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all

  7. I wish that I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah

  8. I pretend that I'm not ready

  9. Why do we put each other through hell?

  10. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  11. And you say, hi, like you just met me

  12. Why do we put each other through hell?

  13. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  14. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  15. When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe

  16. Can't help but think every song's about me

  17. And every line, every word that I write

  18. You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh

  19. Don't want to ask about it 'cause you might brush it off

  20. I'm afraid you think that it means nothing at all

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

  22. I pretend that I'm not ready

  23. Why do we put each other through hell?

  24. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  25. And you say, hi, like you just met me

  26. Why do we put each other through hell?

  27. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  28. I pretend that I'm not ready

  29. Why do we put each other through hell?

  30. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  31. And you say, hi, like you just met me

  32. Why do we put each other through hell?

  33. Why can't we just get over ourselves?

  34. I know a girl, she's like a curse

  35. We want each other, no one will break first

  36. So many nights, trying to find someone new

  37. They don't mean nothing compared to you

Why

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
