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
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

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast or wherever I find my place

I'll track you on the radio and I'll 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

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 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 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
