Ne-Yo - Why lyrics

[Intro] (I asked you a question) I feel a rise burning in the back of my head If she could k** me with a look, I'd already be dead Excited at the thought of possibly two in my bed I said some sh** that I instantly regretted I said I hid my deception with absolute discretion Wanted to turn around and give up an accidental confession I turned to look at her and she's just standin' there Facial expression says it all, war has been declared [Verse] She said, is there anything you wanna tell me? I'm standin' there with my head down and I'm thinkin' Oh no, here we go What the hell was I thinkin'? Man I wish I was drinkin' So I could blame it on the liquor, why did I paint the picture? Why did I think it was something that she would even consider? Now I'm avoidin' eye contact as if I owe her money Tryna laugh it off, clearly she don't think it's funny [Chorus] And then she stepped to me, comin' so steady Looked at me like she knew already I betrayed her trust, it weighs heavy On my head, and then she said Why can't I be loved? Why can't I feel love? Why am I not worthy of Oh why can't I feel love? [Outro] All she wanted was somethin' real, somethin' true With tears in her eyes she said, "I believed in you" I said, "Please don't leave, please don't go away" She said, "You broke my heart. How could I stay?" It'd be a year before I'd see integrity again (Over there, they said he's over there) (I see him, there he is) (Ne-Yo! Is this dude... what are you doing?) (Bruh don't you know you got a show in.. 10 minutes from now?) (You drinking before.. what is you doing?) Relax, I'm not drunk. Guess who I ran into today
