Why can't I understand you

And why can't you understand me

Why can't I understand you

And why can't you understand me

Do the roses that you gave make up for all the times you've said goodbye?

And do the "I love you's" that you say make up for when you come home late at night?

Do the smiles give away the secrets that you cover up and hide?

Does the laughter that you fake make up for the fact that you're wasting time?

And you've been stressing, saying I've been pressing, but I want to know

'Cause if you're claiming we're on different pages, do I stay or go?

Why can't I understand you?

And why can't you understand me?

Why are we talking through the night

Talking just to fight

Talking just to scream?

And why can't I understand you?

And why can't you understand me?

I'm just so over all the pain

Over all the games

Over everything

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

Does the attraction, skin to skin, make up for the fact we live different lives?

'Cause I like my alone time

While you go out every night

And you prefer the sunshine bright

Well, I just want a cloudy sky

And you claim you want a city life

While I just wanna rot on the countryside

I wish I could just let us die

But I'm still here asking why

Why can't I understand you?

And why can't you understand me?

Why are we talking through the night

Talking just to fight

Talking just to scream?

And why can't I understand you?

And why can't you understand me?

I'm just so over all the pain

Over all the games

Over everything

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

And why can't I understand you, understand you, understand me?

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry

"Baby, what's your type?"

Tell me what you like

We look good on paper, baby

Let's go take a ride

But all you did was lie

All you did was hide

You weren't honest from the jump

And now you wanna cry
