Given too many benefits of the doubt
My trust is faded like your jeans, it's all worn out
It's ripping at the seams and our naive dreams won't pan out
Our love was flowing like a river, I guess we're in a drought
I'm crying why why
You say it's you want this but I want that, that
I'm crying why why
Why the hell do opposites attract
I think it'd help me sleep at night if you hate me
If you didn't keep on saying happy birthday
Wouldn't be kept up by the maybes
Wouldn't be depressed on a Thursday
I could move on, find another lady
I could stop reminiscing on the first date
Instead I'm sitting here and singing 'bout you baby
Instead I'm sitting here and singing 'bout you baby
Crying why why
You say it's you want this but I want that, that
I'm crying why why
Why the hell do opposites attract
And now I'm tryna fill that void
It only makes me feel more empty
I know you're two miles away
But that distance feels like infinity
When I hear your favorite song
It almost feels like you're here with me
And when I hear a laugh like yours
When I hear a laugh like yours
I'm crying why why
You say it's you want this but I want that, that
I'm crying why why
Why the hell do opposites attract
