[Intro]
Look...
I know this was supposed to be rhetorical.
But let me answer anyway.
[Verse 1]
Why you?
'Cause I know you think I got plenty of options.
But I choose you.
You say you ain't ready for nobody.
Still trying to figure out your life.
Girl, I'm still learning too.
I don't got everything right.
You say your world's a little messy.
That you ain't got the room for two.
But if we're both still growing,
Why we gotta grow without each other?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're probably gonna tell me I'm wrong.
Say somebody better's gonna come along.
But I've already made up my mind.
And it keeps leading me to you.
[Chorus]
Why you?
Why you?
'Cause I know you think you gotta grow before somebody loves you.
Why you?
Why you?
'Cause I know you think you're not enough.
But I see everything you are becoming.
You don't have to grow alone.
I've got growing left to do.
We both got parts we're working on.
So let me work through mine with you.
I don't want the flower after it blooms.
I want the rain.
I want the roots.
I want every season with you.
[Verse 2]
You keep saying somebody better's waiting.
I keep wondering why you can't see.
The woman you're trying so hard to become
Is already enough for me.
You see weeds.
I see roots.
You see rain.
I see proof.
Every season's making something beautiful.
I just want to grow with you.
[Bridge]
You're already a rose.
You just don't see it yet.
Every storm you've been through
Is helping you bloom.
You don't have to grow alone.
I've got growing left to do.
Let's put down roots together.
And watch what love can grow into.
[Final Chorus]
Why you?
Why you?
Because I don't need perfection.
I just need you.
Why you?
Why you?
I want every season.
Every sunrise.
Every storm.
I want life with you.
We'll learn together.
We'll heal together.
We'll grow together.
One day they'll see the flower.
I'll smile...
Because I got to love the roots first.
[Outro]
So if you ask me,
"Why you?"
Because I don't just love who you are.
I love who we're becoming.
Together.
