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

About Shawn Mendes’s Why from Shawn Mendes (2018)
In “Why”, Shawn Mendes sings about an unspoken attraction between him and another girl; Both of them are attracted to each other but neither of them admits it. In the song, Shawn expresses his frustration over their silence and asks why neither of them breaks the tension and admit how they feel about each other.
Written over soft keys with a guitar in the background, the song follows a smooth pattern, reminiscent of R&B music. Shawn uses a vocoder towards the end of the song, which splits his voice into vocal chords to convey a beautiful but yet sad and vulnerable sound, which fits into the context of the song.
