[Verse 1]

How much reassurance does a man need

Why can't I just let a good thing be

Is it just me? Something don't seem right

In my whole life I've never been so close

To anyone, anything, so girl, I know

I gotta let go and give up the fight

You keep talking like everything's gonna be alright


[Chorus]

So why do I feel like you're slipping away?

So dark in my heart girl

Too many times torn apart girl

I wanna believe what you're trying to say

Girl I'm trying to listen

Don't want my suspicions to drive you away

Why do I, why do I keep messing with a good thing?

Why do I feel?


[Verse 2]

Trying to understand, explain everything

Over analyze us like we're some game

Trying to find pain, where there's only love

It's maybe just that I've never been this far

Never walked through so many open doors

And when I get more, it's never enough

You and me babe

I know we're right as rain


[Chorus]

So why do I feel like you're slipping away?

So dark in my heart girl

Too many times torn apart girl

I wanna believe what you're trying to say

Girl I'm trying to listen

Don't want my suspicions to drive you away

Why do I, why do I keep messing with a good thing?


[Bridge]

Why do I feel like that when it feels like this?

Better than the best it's ever been

Lost in your body here in the dark

Your fingers, my skin: a match and a spark

I told myself I'd make a brand new start


[Chorus]

I wanna believe what you're trying to say

Girl I'm trying to listen

Don't want my suspicions to drive you away

Yeah, I'm trying to listen

Don't want my suspicions to drive you away

Why do I, why do I keep messing with a good thing?

Why do I feel?

Why do I feel?
