Reason Why

I think about how

It might have been

We'd spend our days

Travelin'

It's not that I don't

Understand you

It's not that I don't

Wanna be with you

But you only wanted me

The way you wanted me

So I will

Head out alone and

Hope for the best

We can hang our heads down

As we skip the goodbyes

And you can

Tell the world what you want them to hear

I've got nothin' 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

(Ooh)

Searchin' for your face

(Ooh)

From coast to coast

Or wherever I find my place

I'll track you on the radio

And I'll sign 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

And 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 lookin' for

The way I might've changed my mind

But you only showed me the door

So I will

(Oh)

Head out alone

Hope for the best

(Oh)

We can pat ourselves on the back

And say that we tried

(Oh)

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

You and I

Know the reason why
