Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, feel the rush
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Don't you give it up (Ooh, la-la-la-la-la)
When the road gets rough
Uh-huh, uh-huh
You can still be enough

[Verse 1]
Slow down, why you runnin' away?
Take time, it'll all be okay
And if you could only trust the breeze
You'd believe
I need you just the way you are
When we're chasin' every shooting star
And you're open with me
Heart-to-heart, but then you start

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody new every time that you move
You're hidin' the truth like you've got something to prove
You're tryin' too hard
You won't get too far with me, tell me

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to hide behind all the expectations?
I know the way you're
Tryin' to fit into every conversation, it's so contagious
Days go like this, you
You slip, and you trip, and you change
And you trade what you feel for a part that you play
So honestly, just promise me, you'll never let them see you faded
No, no, no

[Verse 2]
You walk in with a brand-new name
Tryin' hard to win a different game
What you've got is more than that
You know, you're makin' me
Shake my head when you play the part
Hidin' who you are behind the dark
You know, you're not convincin'
Anyone when you become

[Pre-Chorus]
A different face in a different place
You're lookin' around like you're losin' the race
You're playin' it cool
But that's just a rule for you, tell me

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to hide behind all the expectations?
I know the way you're
Tryin' to fit into every conversation, it's so contagious
Days go like this, you
You slip, and you trip, and you change
And you trade what you feel for a part that you play
So honestly, just promise me, you'll never let them see you faded
No, no, no (No)
 

[Refrain]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

[Bridge[
Slow down, why you runnin' away?
Take time, it'll all be okay
And if you could only trust the breeze
You'd believe

[Pre-Chorus]
A different face in a different place
You're lookin' around like you're losin' the race
You're playin' it cool
But that's just a rule for you, tell me

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to hide behind all the expectations?
I know the way you're
Tryin' to fit into every conversation, it's so contagious
Days go like this, you
You slip, and you trip, and you change
And you trade what you feel for a part that you play
So honestly, just promise me, you'll never let them see you faded
No, no, no (No)
Why'd you have to hide behind all the expectations?
I know the way you're
Tryin' to fit into every conversation, it's so contagious
Days go like this, you
You slip, and you trip, and you change
And you trade what you feel for a part that you play
So honestly, just promise me, you'll never let them see you faded
No, no, no (No)
