Verse 1
I’m sittin’ here all alone
Still hoping that you’ll call
I just miss the sound of your voice
But I know I should move on
My heart don’t wanna listen
It don’t wanna let you go
I’m lost and I’m still asking
Baby, tell me what I’m supposed to do
[low, talk‑sung, breath in the voice]
Pre-Chorus
‘Cause my mind keeps running circles
Every night I’m asking why
I keep seeing you without me
Every time I close my eyes
Chorus
Why is he the one who gets to kiss you goodnight?
Why is he the one holding you so tight?
Why is he the one lying there
In your bed every single night?
Why is he the one?
Oh God, I really need to know
When you look me in the eyes
And say it’s me you love
[chorus: chest voice, let “goodnight” and “love” crack]
Verse 2
It should’ve been me right there beside you
Waking up with you so close
Baby, I know you feel it too
I can feel it in my bones
Just tell me what I gotta do
Tell me how to make it right
I swear I’d give you everything
If you’d just be mine tonight
[rasp creeps in, emotional build]
Pre-Chorus 2
Say the word and I’ll come running
I don’t care what it takes
I’ve been holding on to hope
While my heart’s about to break
[Chorus bigger]
Why is he the one who gets to kiss you goodnight?
Why is he the one holding you so tight?
Why is he the one lying there
In your bed every single night?
Why is he the one?
Oh God, I really need to know
When you swear to me it’s me
Yeah… it’s me you love
[Bridge (strip it down, gospel confession]
Don’t say my name if you don’t mean it
Don’t pull me close just to let me go
If you love me like you say you do
Girl, why am I still alone?
[half‑spoken, last line belted]
Final Chorus / Outro
Why is he the one who gets to kiss you goodnight?
Why is he the one holding you so tight?
Why is he the one lying there
In your bed every single night?
Why is he the one?
Oh God, I just need to know
When you say it’s me…
When you say it’s me you love
(ooooh… yeah… mmh…)
[last “love” almost whispered, piano fading]
