Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Why?
Why?
[Verse 1]
Switching into airplane mode again
We're not alright but I'll pretend
Press my cheek against the glass
Just be good 'til I get back
[Pre-Chorus]
The ground disappears
I hold back the tears
I check my phone to see your face
Staring back as if to say
"Don't worry, you won't be lonely"
[Chorus]
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?
[Verse 2]
Few drinks deep at a table for one
The place we like to go and you take yourself home again
Three missed calls at 2 A.M
You say you never heard, you're late to get to work and then
[Pre-Chorus]
The time disappears
You hold back the tears
Your best girlfriend just got engaged
You say you can't wait and need to make a change
You told me, "It's so hard to be lonely"
[Chorus]
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
We're together all alone tonight
So helpless from the other side
So why won't you love me?
[Bridge: All, Luke & Calum]
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why
I hold on to you and you hold on to me?
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why
I hold on to you and you hold on?
And why won't you love me?
[Chorus]
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?
