This song explores the feeling of seeing your Ex happy with another person. It pushes the question, “why that person,” almost competitively, almost to say, what does that new person have over me. What I love about the song is the narrative we’ve laid out lyrically and the journey we take the listene...
[Verse 1 : Nieman]
It hurt enough you wanted out
Don't twist the knife again
Once in my arms, you've fallen out
Into another mans
But what hurt most
Wasn't letting me go
Rather in the one you chose
You were always in the view
Seems like that wasn't the same for you
[Chorus : Nieman]
Same old scene replays over again
Try to ignore it but I can't pretend
Out of all the possible options
Baby why him?
Why him?
Its not that I want to control you baby
It could be anybody else
Call me selfish, I admit that I'm greedy
I just want you to myself
But you went and chose him
Why him?
But you went and chose him
Why him?
[Verse 2 : Nieman]
Girl rumor has it you're feelin some way
Saw in your eyes that somethin' must've changed
I could tell something felt a little different just the other day
Got flustered just trying to muster what I want to say
[Verse 3 : Nieman]
Do I just back down?
What do you want me to do?
Step to the side or do I fight for you?
Do I just back down?
What do you want me to do?
Step to the side or do I fight for you?
Where did I drop the ball?
I could feel the tension
I know we have our faults
Where did I drop the ball?
Tell me when was this all my fault
I heard the truth
But not from you
Who you ran to
Girl what I do?
Girl spare my heart
I'm in the dark
Lately we've been
Growing apart
[Bridge : Nieman]
I know all you wanted was for me to be committed
I know I was acting distant like my feelings weren't in it
But I swear
I swear
My heart was there, I just was feeling scared
[Refrain : Nieman]
Baby, Why him?
Baby, Why?
It could be anybody else
Baby, Why him?
Baby, Why him?
Why him?
[Verse 4 : Moira Dela Torre]
I heard that you
Think I hurt you
How is this true when I waited for you
I might've loved you
But I guess you'll never know
How I felt for you there was nothing left for me to do
There was nothing left for me to do
There was nothing left for me to do
[Verse 5 : Moira Dela Torre]
'Cause all I ever wanted was for you to be committed
I know I was acting distant but I swear
I was only waiting for you
For you to come through
But I don't think that'll happen anytime soon
So please don't go on tellin' everybody it was easy
Oh, the only difference was
He was brave enough to tell me
Even when I was waiting for you
I never meant to be unfair
I just wanted you to care
[Outro : Nieman and Moira Dela Torre]
Same old scene replays over again
Same old scene replays over again
It doesn't have to be the
Same old scene replays over again
Same old scene replays, replays
Same old scene replays over again
It doesn't have to be the
Same old scene replays over again
Same old scene replays over again
It doesn't have to be the same
