Reason

Is there any reason
Why my heart must now understand?
We had the fire so many times
Changes like the season
Convinces me that we've come to an end
Your love was indescribable

Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh
Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh

And as I watch, I see before my eyes
The truth is my reality
My emotions are high
And I'm at risk of falling again
Right now everything's on the line

Being alone is not what I prefer
But I've got to face this feeling

With grace I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round
Holler, holler, holler, holler
Holler, holler, holler, holler

Please don't try
To make me less than I am
Let's not drag it out anymore
With grace I politely remove myself
With grace I'm all too willing

'Cause being alone is not what I prefer
But I've got to face this feeling

With grace I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round

With grace I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round
Holler, holler, holler, holler
Holler, holler, holler, holler

With grace I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round

But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be 'round

Is there any reason
Do you have any explanation

Why my heart must now understand?
Why am I being forced to comprehend this with my emotions?

We had the fire so many times
Our passion was ignited repeatedly

Changes like the season
Shifts in our relationship happened like the way seasons change

Convinces me that we've come to an end
I am convinced that we have reached our demise

Your love was indescribable
It was impossible for me to put your love into words

And as I watch, I see before my eyes
While observing, I discern

The truth is my reality
The reality is that the truth is unfurled before my eyes

My emotions are high
My feelings are intense

And I'm at risk of falling again
I'm at risk of feeling the same way again

Right now everything's on the line
Currently there's so much at stake

Being alone is not what I prefer
I don't want to be alone

But I've got to face this feeling
I need to confront these emotions

With grace I will step aside
I will politely and respectfully exit the situation

But if you're in need
If you need me

Holler and I'll be 'round
Let me know, and I'll come around

Please don't try
Don't attempt to do this

To make me less than I am
To diminish my abilities or worth

Let's not drag it out anymore
Let's not prolong the end

With grace I politely remove myself
I will gently exit the situation

With grace I'm all too willing
I'm more than happy to do so politely

'Cause being alone is not what I prefer
I don't want to be alone

But I've got to face this feeling
I have to confront my emotions

But if you're in need
If you require assistance

Holler and I'll be 'round
Let me know, and I'll come around
