[Verse 1]
I thought we said we're good
Was I misunderstood?
You lookin' at me so cold
After all that we've been through
How could you pretend?
I'm someone that you don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so sick of planning all my nights, nights
'round avoiding you, it's gotta end
We don't have to love again or try, try
But can you tell me

[Chorus]
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?
Forget all the scars, all that they are
Memories, memories
Oh, I know it hurts 'cause I feel it too
But after all, all that we been through, yeah
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?

[Verse 2]
You see me walkin' towards
You're headed for the door
Why is your shoulder so cold?
I know it's hard to speak
With all our history
But that don't mean you should go

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so sick of planning all my nights, nights
'round avoiding you it's gotta end
We don't have to love again or try, try
But can you tell me

[Chorus]
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?
Forget all the scars, all that they are
Memories, memories
Oh, I know it hurts 'cause I feel it too
But after all, all that we been through
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?

[Bridge]
Oh, tell me why did, why did we
Throw away the love we had?
And tell me why do, why do we
Love to make it hurt so bad
Yeah, I know that we can't be friends
But after all the things we been
Oh, why do we, we have to be enemies? Oh

[Chorus]
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?
Forget all the scars, all that they are
Memories, memories
Oh, I know it hurts 'cause I feel it too
But after all, all that we been through, yeah
Oh, why do we, we have to be
Enemies, enemies?

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
