Why?

(album: If You Don't Understand It's Ok - 2021)

Struggling to breathe
Sinking down up on her knees, yeah
There's fire in our wounds
'Cause there's salt in the water
Yeah, the blade is running deep
But we just watch it as we pleading
We fight against the tide
Though it's all been decided

I been feeling so frustrated
Contemplating just to stay the night
I should stay, should I only, just tonight, yeah
We burned a candle from both ways
And all the signs are diamond plated
But I can't help it, my hands stay glued to your thighs

Why I do what you tell me to
When you tell me through your eyes
It's beyond me, don't know why
Oh, why I do what you tell me to
When I know we won't survive
It's beyond me, don't know why, oh why

You know we always fight in the morning
Acting like we never see the warnings
We doused in gasoline
Burn and then repeat
Raising all the peas
When you tell me you the victim, ooh baby, who better?
I been tryna play it cool, keep it all together
Saying we could get it right, that should be a red light
Why do I keep kidding you up?

I been feeling so frustrated
Contemplating just to stay the night
I should stay, should I only, just tonight, yeah
We burned a candle from both ways
And all the signs are diamond plated
But I can't help it, my hands stay glued to your thighs

Why I do what you tell me to
When you tell me through your eyes
It's beyond me, don't know why
Oh, why I do what you tell me to
When I know we won't survive
It's beyond me, don't know why, oh why
