[Verse 1]
Hope I only leave good vibes on your living room floor
It hurts so bad that I didn't when you asked for more
Your dad probably loves me more than he ever did now
'Cause I finally got out
Yeah, we finally knocked down

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause sometimes it's better that way
Gotta let it go so your heart don't break
'Cause I love you
Yeah, baby, I love you
Just this one time, hear what I'm tryna say
Know you might not feel quite the same way
But I love you
I tell you, I love you

[Chorus]
Why? Why wait to fight?
Give it a try
Oh, I say goodbye while it's right
Can we save tears in your eyes?
I'm making you cry
Why wait to hate? Can we save love?

[Verse 2]
I fell in, I'm falling, I'm for you
I can't let you fall through the floor too
It's a gamble to take any more of you
(It's a gamble to take-take more you)
Still in my mind sometimes, I must admit it
Like it's a crime, on trial, I got acquitted
Me and you wasn't meant, we wasn't fitted
Like it's a glove, I hated to admit it

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause obviously, we go back
So why would we ruin that?
In too deep, we're rearranged
Now you wanna ask for names
We can't let this fruit go bad
Sayin' things we can't take back
In too deep, we're rearranged
Say you feel the same

[Chorus]
Why? Why wait to fight?
Give it a try
Oh, I say goodbye while it's right
Can we save tears in your eyes?
And watching you cry
Why wait to hate, can we save love?

Zayn Malik

Zain Javadd “Zayn” Malik is an English/Pakistani singer and songwriter, and a former member of the boy band One Direction.

In 2010, Malik auditioned for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition, along with four other contestants, to form the group that would later be known as One Direction. During Zayn’s time in the band, they released four commercially successful albums, performed on a worldwide tour, and won several awards.

In March 2015, Malik’s representative announced the singer’s departure from the band, and Malik signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records. On November 17th, 2015, through an interview for The Fader, Malik teased the release of a new song, “Befour”, from his debut album Mind Of Mine. Lead single “PILLOWTALK” debuted at #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Zayn’s first number one single. By reaching #1 in the US, it achieved something that One Direction never did—their best ranking was #2 with “Best Song Ever.”
