"Why Not Us" lyrics

We both believe we don't deserve this
Oh no, too many wrongs can't make us right
Just when we're bout to fall into a long kiss
We push each other back and change our minds

We can't seem to outrun the pain or the past
We don't even try cause it just won't last
But girl this time it'd be a shame to be afraid to ask

Why not us
Why can't we
Be in love, just like everybody else
We both have a heart
Can't keep 'em in the dark
For the rest of this night
When there's a light shinin' in your eyes
We just gotta trust
That this really is love
Why not us

Maybe the reason we've both been broken
Is so when we get together we'd fit perfectly
And we'd feel it right there, in the moment
And I know you feel it too so honestly

Why not us
Why can't we
Be in love, just like everybody else
We both have a heart
Can't keep 'em in the dark
For the rest of this night
When there's a light shinin' in your eyes
We just gotta trust
That this really is love
Why not us

We both have a heart
Can't keep 'em in the dark
For the rest of this night
When there's a light shinin' in your eyes
We just gotta trust
That this really is love
Baby, why not us
Why not us
