“Tell Me Why” is the opening track of Austin Skinner’s self-titled Better Temperatures debut.
Over the punchy, synth-heavy Fish beat, Austin pours out his emotions regarding a relationship with a girl that has fallen through.
[Chorus]
Whats on your mind, tell me why
We gon' spend some time, it's only right
I tried playing cool, but you switching sides (Switchin' sides)
How can I go lose if you by my side? (By my)
You actin' brand new, it gon' hurt inside
I would never choose, want you every time
I'm gon' tell the truth, I feel dead inside (I feel dead)
Before I end it all, would you hold me tight?
[Verse 1]
They want know what it's like to be me
I said "no, you don't"
She just made me hate myself
All my trust is broke
Would've got you YSL
But you played me, woah
I don't wanna be mysеlf
I might cut my throat
I can't be replaced
I think 'bout your facе
Whats been going thru your head?
I'm still going, chase
I done seen you with him, I wan' blow my brains
I gave you all that I had, I'm dying in pain
I wan’ end it all, right now
Had me thinking you would always hold me down
[Chorus]
It's on your mind, tell me why
We gon' spend some time, it's only right
I tried playing cool, but you switching sides (Switchin' sides)
How can I go lose if you by my side? (By my)
You actin' brand new, it gon' hurt inside
I would never choose, want you every time
I'm gon' tell the truth, I feel dead inside (I feel dead)
Before I end it all, would you hold me tight?
[Verse 2]
You
Knew
Hop inside my whip, zoom
I don't give a fuck 'bout him, true
He won't treat you like I did, tell him mo-o-ove (yeah)
Why'd you go and change up?
Stay with me on my way up
Baby I'm tryna save us
Got me feeling' like nun'
I wouldn't go and trade us
Can we be like laid up?
Can we make up?
Don't want you to hate us
Everything gon' change when it's going so good
Why you not actin the same? Treat me like I'm no good
[Chorus]
It's on your mind, tell me why
We gon' spend some time, it's only right
I tried playing cool, but you switching sides (Switchin' sides)
How can I go lose if you by my side? (By my)
You actin' brand new, it gon' hurt inside
I would never choose, want you every time
I'm gon' tell the truth, I feel dead inside (I feel dead)
Before I end it all, would you hold me tight?
