Lyrics for Amerie – Why R U

Why are you the one

I can’t lose

What’s the reason that I’m here again it’s crazy
I keep waiting but I’m foolish cause you’ll never change
Wasted all my time and here I am still crying over you
Over you

Loving you was so hard
(But I keep Trying Baby)
I just end of with scars
(Cause I keep fighting Baby)
Loving you is like a battle that I can’t afford to lose
I can’t lose

But I’m asking you..

“‘Why R U?‘ is about being in a relationship and hating that you’re so attached to this person,” explains Amerie. “A lot of the songs on this album deal with wanting to be done with a relationship but you’re just not really ready to leave, so you hang around and wait for a person to change. I really wanted the lyrical content to be real conversation. I didn’t want anything to be sugar-coated.”
