[Verse 1]
We don't even act it
Feel like a couple on paper
More like strangers who share a bed
Passing plates at the same table
You don't check my eyes for truth
Don't tease me like you used to
It's like I'm talking to a wall
That looks a lot like you
[Chorus]
We just strangers who live together
Four cold walls and your warm phone
You don't touch me like you love me
You just leave me here alone
All you do is lie and hurt me
While I give you everything I have
I keep asking
Asking
Asking
Tell me why you treat me like that
[Verse 2]
I fold your shirts
I bite my tongue
Count my tears in the shower
You say "baby
You're too sensitive"
I call that losing power
You come home late
You turn your back
Say you're tired
Then you sleep
I lie awake with all these questions
You never let me keep
[Chorus]
We just strangers who live together
Four cold walls and your warm phone
You don't touch me like you love me
You just leave me here alone
All you do is lie and hurt me
While I give you everything I have
I keep asking
Asking
Asking
Tell me why you treat me like that
[Bridge]
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is there someone in my place? (oh)
If you don't care
Then just say it
Don't make me beg for grace
[Chorus]
We just strangers who live together
Sharing mail and sharing rent
But my heart is paying interest
On a love you never spent
All you do is lie and hurt me
When all I ever did was try
I keep asking
Asking
Asking
Tell me why
Just tell me why
