Lyric

Why me?

I know why

I said yes

I love you

I want to marry you

It’s just

I don’t know

If I really have

Everything you’re looking for

And you look

So sure of me

Why me?

Your hands were shaking

Mine were too

You asked me

I cried

And said

“Yes.”

Just like that

You laughed

And pulled me close

I felt you breathe out

Like you’d been holding it

The whole time

I held onto you

And it hit me—

You were that happy

Because I said yes

Because it was me

I was happy

I still am

More than I know

How to say

But I kept looking

At your face

Trying to understand

How you could be

So sure

Why me?

I don’t look at myself

And see someone

This easy to choose

I get quiet

When something hurts

I say I’m fine

When I’m not

I can make

A bad day harder

I can push you away

When what I really want

Is for you to stay

You know all of that

You know me

And still

You look at me

Like choosing me

Was never the hard part

That makes me happy

More than you know

But

Why me?

Later

You’re still holding

My hand

Your thumb keeps brushing

Over the ring

I catch you smiling

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re staring.”

“So are you.”

I look down

Then back at you

You say

“You’re happy, right?”

“Yeah.”

I smile

“I really am.”

And I mean it

That’s what makes

This harder to explain

I’m not scared

To marry you

I just wonder

If I can really be

Enough for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Because I know

The parts of me

I wish were easier

You know them too

And you still

Look at me

Like none of them

Changed your answer

Why me?

You’ve seen me

Lose my patience

You’ve heard me say

“I’m okay”

When we both knew

I wasn’t

You’ve stayed

When I made it harder

Than it needed to be

You know

I don’t always know

How to let

Someone love me

And still

You asked me

You chose me

You looked relieved

When I said yes

I love that

I love you

I just still wonder

Why me?

I say

“Can I ask you

Something?”

“Anything.”

I look at you

“Why me?”

You smile

I shake my head

“No

I mean it.”

You look at me

For a second

Then you say

“Because it’s you.”

I laugh

Through my tears

“That’s not an answer.”

You squeeze my hand

“It is for me.”

I look down

Then you add

“I know who

I’m choosing.”

I can’t answer that

So I just

Hold your hand tighter

Why me?

I know why

I said yes

I know why

I love you

I know why

I want the mornings

The bad days

The stupid fights

The years

We haven’t lived yet

I want all of it

With you

That part

Doesn’t scare me

It’s being loved

This much

By someone

I love this much

It’s you looking at me

Like I’m exactly

Who you wanted

And part of me

Still wants to ask

“Are you sure?”

But you are

I can see it

I still don’t know

How you can be

So sure of me

So I look at you

You look back

And I hold your hand

A little tighter

Why me?

You lift my hand

And look at the ring

Again

Then you kiss my fingers

I smile

“You’re doing it again.”

“What?”

“Looking at me

Like that.”

You laugh

“Get used to it.”

I look at you

I’m still

A little unsure

Not about you

Not about us

Just me

You squeeze my hand

I squeeze yours back

I look at the ring

Then at you

Still wondering

Still happy
