WHY ME, WHY YOU [Intro — close-mic whisper, almost dry vocal, audible breath] Two a.m... Tell me... Why me? (why me...) Why you? (why you...) [Filtered kick enters] Why do I still feel you? --- [Verse 1 intimate female vocal, low and breathy] Water running down my shoulders, trying to wash you from my head. Close my eyes for just a second, you're the thought I shouldn't let. Turn it colder, doesn't matter, you're a fever underneath. Funny how you're nowhere near me, still I swear I feel you breathe. [Soft delayed whisper] (feel you breathe...) --- [Pre-Chorus] I don't want another sign, I don't wanna call it fate. I just wanna close my eyes without you keeping me awake. But every time the room goes quiet, every time the lights go blue... There you are. There you are. There you are... without you. --- [Chorus wider melodic vocal] Why me? (Why me?) Why you? (Why you?) Out of everybody, why'd it have to be us two? Why now? (Why now?) Why can't I make my body understand what my mind already knew? I can't have you... I can't lose you... I can't even touch you Why do I still feel you? [Instrumental hook mirrors: why me / why you / feel you] --- [Post-Chorus ASMR call-and-response] [Lead, close left] Why me? [Whisper, distant right] (Why me?) Why you? (Why you?) Why do I... (still...) Why do I... (still...) feel you? [DROP — plucked takes vocal melody] --- [Verse 2 intimate, breath against the mic] Two a.m., the sheets are colder, but I feel you next to me. Every shadow moves a little like you're somewhere I can't see. I close my eyes, you come in closer, almost close enough to breathe. How can someone be so absent and still feel under my skin? [Whisper] (Under my skin...) --- [Pre-Chorus] Maybe somewhere you're awake too. Maybe I'm just losing sleep. Maybe I should stop pretending there's a reason this runs deep. I don't need another answer. I don't need another clue. I just need... one night... where I don't feel you. [Chorus] Why me? (Why me?) Why you? (Why you?) Out of everybody, why'd it have to be us two? Why now? (Why now?) Why can't I make my body understand what my mind already knew? I can't have you... I can't lose you... God, I wish I could undo you Why do I still feel you? --- [Breakdown] Get out of my head... [breath] Get out of my room... [breath] Get out of the silence... ... Then why does the silence sound so much like you? Why me? (why me...) Why you? (why you...) --- [SECOND DROP] WHY ME? (why me?) WHY YOU? (why you?) Why do I still... Why do I still FEEL YOU? --- [Outro] I can't have you... (have you...) So why can't I lose you? (lose you...) Two a.m... the room goes quiet... but I... still... feel... you.
