Reason Why

I think about how it might have been We'd spend our days traveling 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 alone and hope for the best And we can hang our heads down As we skip the goodbyes 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 wherever I find my place I track you on the radio And I find your list in a different name But as close as I get to you It's not the same So, I will head out alone 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 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 have changed my mind But you only showed me the door So, I will head out alone and hope for the best We can pat ourselves on the back And say that we tried And then 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 You and I know the reason why
