Reason Why Lyrics

I think about how it might have been

 We'd spend out days travelin'

 It's not that I don't understand you

 It's not that I don't want to be with you

 But you only wanted me

 The way you wanted me

 

 So, I will head out along and hope for the best

 And we can hang out heads down

 As we skip the goodbyes

 And you can tell the world what you want them to hear

 I've got nothing left to lose, my dear

 So, I'm up for the little white lies

 But you and I know the reason why

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 

 I'll buy a magazine searching for your face

 From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place

 I'll track you on the radios, and

 I'll sign your list in a different name

 But as close as I come to you

 It's not the same

 

 So, I will head out along and hope for the best

 We can pat ourselves on the back

 As say that we tried

 And if one of us makes it big

 We can spill our regrets

 And talk about how the love never dies

 But you and I know the reason why

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 

 So, steal the show, and do your best

 To cover the tracks that I have left

 I wish you well and hope you find

 Whatever you're looking for

 The way I might've changed my mind,

 But you only showed my the door

 

 So, I will head out along and hope for the best

 We can pat ourselves on the back

 And say that we tried

 And if one of us makes it big

 We can spill our regrets

 And talk about how the love never dies

 But you and I, you and I know the reason why
