With his first song of 2020, Stephen Puth delivers an upbeat sound to the pain of watching someone walk away from him.
Stephen Puth first teased the title of the song on Twitter in April of 2020 by tweeting, “WYWA.” A week later tweeting the end of the chorus.
[Chorus]
You know it kills me every time
Watching you walk away
I wake up and you're out the door
Yeah, you leave before, I ask you to stay
You to stay
[Verse 1]
I say what's up, love?
I can feel the hesitation in between us
Makin' empty conversation, it's a problem
Know we said no expectations, but we got some, we got some
[Pre-Chorus]
It's like we're always keeping secrets
Yeah, I wonder where you go
Are you with somebody else?
I don't know what ya do alone
Try to play it down but it gets harder to pretend
That I don't care if I see you again
[Chorus]
You know it kills me every time
Watching you walk away
I wake up and you're out the door
Yeah, you leave before, I ask you to stay
You to stay
I see it in your eyes
I know it's getting late, yeah
One more night and it's something more
So you leave before I ask you to stay
[Verse 2]
You know it kills me every time
Why do we only get together after midnight?
Bet that you look even better in the daylight
Know we said don't want no pressure, yeah, it's alright, it's alright
[Pre-Chorus]
It's like we're always keeping secrets
Yeah, I wonder where you go (Wonder where you go)
Are you with somebody else?
I don't know what ya do alone (Do alone)
Try to play it down but it gets harder to pretend
That I don't care if I see you again
[Chorus]
You know it kills me every time
Watching you walk away
I wake up and you're out the door
Yeah, you leave before, I ask you to stay
You to stay
I see it in your eyes
I know it's getting late, yeah
One more night and it's something more
So you leave before I ask you to stay
You know it kills me every time
Yeah, you leave before I ask you to stay
You know it kills me every time
Watching you walk away
I wake up and you're out the door
Yeah, you leave before, I ask you to stay
You know it kills me every time
