[Intro: Jonah Marais]
It's hard to act like I don't think about you sometimes
I should win an Oscar

[Verse 1: Jack Avery]
It was my birthday, right at the end of the night
It was the first time, he hurt you bad and you cried
Right in my arms, fell to a million pieces
Held you together, girl, I know all your secrets

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey]
Do you know how hard it is to, be the one to fix you?
And all you do is:
Run back to the one who breaks your heart
You're makin' this too hard

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]
It's hard to sing along to songs
That people sing when they're happy
I should win a Grammy

[Verse 2: Jonah Marais]
You block his number, and then you call me instead
You give him distance, and then you sleep in my bed
You say you miss him, and you go crawlin' back
That's my mission, it's to be here when you're sad

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey]
Do you know how hard it is to, be the one to fix you?
And all you do is:
Run back to the one who breaks your heart
You're makin' this too hard

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard

[Bridge: Corbyn Besson]
All this daytime drama makes me feel so alive
So good at fakin', I should win an Emmy

[Chorus: Zach Herron, Jack Avery, All]
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I said I'll be there to the end but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard
You keep runnin' back to him, I know it's hard
Hard, it's just too hard
I know I said I'll be your friend, but it's too hard
Hard, it's just too hard

[Outro: Zach Herron]
Hard, it's just too hard
Hard, it's just too hard

Why Don’t We

Why Don’t We is a boy band consisting of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery. The members individually gained recognition over social media by posting covers and doing live streams. Seavey was also a contestant on season 14 of the American TV show American Idol. The group started activities on September 27, 2016, with the release of their two singles “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” and EP Only The Beginning, shortly thereafter.

The band gained a lot of recognition from their 2017 single “Something Different”. They went on to release four EPs in that year, notably gaining recognition for their collaboration with YouTuber Logan Paul, who also directed several of their music videos at this time.

Their first release in 2018, the Ed Sheeran-written “Trust Fund Baby,” ranked #2 on the American iTunes Chart, and was the band’s highest achievement to that date. They released three singles in June, July and August of that year preceding their first full length album on August 31, 2018. “Talk”, the second pre-release, peaked at #1 on the American iTunes Chart, surpassing their personal record just five months later.
