Verse 1:
I got some questions I still need to ask
Holding onto the things I know won't last
We're broken and battered, my hope is so tattered
Feeling alone but I'm crowded by friends

All of those feelings they keep coming back
Blacken my heart like it's covered in tats
I was so flattered, I thought that I mattered
You left me in pieces from what you had said

Prechorus:
And I know
That you said we're done, so tell me why I think you're still number one
Cold in this room, acted young and so dumb
Your skin was my warmth now I'm feeling so numb

Chorus:
Tell me why, Tell me why, in a perfect world
You and I, You and I, would be better girl
Tell me why, Tell me why, we're still hurtin girl


Tell me why, Tell me why, in a perfect world
You and I, You and I, would be better girl
Tell me why, Tell me why, we're still hurtin girl
You and I, you and I


Verse 2:
I thought this was something you should have known
That I can't go on if I'm all on my own
We made all those promises, you weren't so honest when you said you'd be with me till I am old

I know I made some mistakes in the past
Finished our race but we're still running lap
Look babe, we're losing, there's someone you're choosing
I'm hoping and praying ... that this pain won't last

Prechorus:
And I know
That you said we're done, so tell me why I think you're still number one
Cold in this room, acted young and so dumb
Your skin was my warmth now I'm feeling so numb

Chorus:
Tell me why, Tell me why, in a perfect world
You and I, You and I, would be better girl
Tell me why, Tell me why, you're still hurtin girl if
You and I, You and I, would be better girl

Chorus:
Tell me why, Tell me why, in a perfect world
You and I, You and I, would be better girl
Tell me why, Tell me why, you're still hurtin girl if
You and I, You and I, would be better girl
Outro:
You can say what you want
But I can tell you you're wrong
