[Intro: Rauw Alejandro]
I wrote down my feelings, then erased them
Told you I didn't love you, and I ruined it
But I knew, when you walked away, all I longed for was to kiss you
I remember leaving your house that night
Saying "no," though I meant "yes"
But I sensed your doubt, and it pulled me in
That's why we're here now
[Chorus: Rauw Alejandro]
You ask me, "Why?" and I say, "Why not?"
If we're nothing, then what are we doing here?
What are we playing at? Time's slipping away
And without me, I wonder if you're truly okay
You ask me, "Why?" and I say, "Why lie?"
Deep down, we both know it's clear to see
It's eating you up
To say you're better off without me
[Verse 2: Romeo Santos]
I tried to act tough but it fell apart
You tried to be my friend, and I kissed you
You know the truth
We can't control what we feel inside
I call others just to try to forget
But in my mind, it's you on repeat
More than a fleeting fire, baby, you disguise it
That's why we're here
[Chorus: Romeo Santos]
You ask me, "Why?" and I say, "Why not?"
If we're nothing, then what are we doing here?
What are we playing at? Time's slipping away
And without me, I wonder if you're truly okay
You ask me, "Why?" and I say, "Why lie?"
Deep down, we both know it's clear to see
It's eating you up
To say you're better off without me
[Verse 3: Romeo Santos & Rauw Alejandro]
Rauw
What's the name of this game we're caught in, both of us?
With the masks we wear, the truth is hidden from view
You knew all along
I loved you more than I let on
I say "Let me go," but inside I'm aching
When I'm lost
I reach for you, but stay silent
[Bridge: Rauw Alejandro]
Stay
Where are you going? Come, don't leave me now
Baby, stay
Where are you running off to?
[Chorus: Romeo Santos]
You ask me, "Why?" and I say, "Why not?"
Deep down, we both know it's clear to see
It's eating you up
To say you're better off without me
[Interlude: Rauw Alejandro, Romeo Santos]
You ask me, "Why?"
And I say, "Why not?," and I say, "Why not?"
You ask me, "Why?"
And without me, I wonder if you're truly okay
Baby
It's Rauw Alejandro with The King Romeo, haha (The biggest)
Baby, I don't know what it is that we are, just know it's special
[Outro: Rauw Alejandro]
I wrote down my feelings, then erased them
Told you I didn't love you, and I ruined it
But I knew
(When you walked away, all I longed for was to kiss you)
