Reason
Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something in your eyes I know I can't resist.
Something in the air, I dont know why.
You were hardly there when I was on my own.
There's something about you that makes me cry.

Can I believe that your heart still beats for me?
Let me receive a sign that your my destiny.
I wanna know.

Give me a reason for me to believe in, can't you see it in my eyes?
That I need a reason, for I'm still breathing. Is it time to say goodbye?
'Cause deep in my heart I know there's a reason why I am not leaving, why I'm not alone. So give me a reason for me to believe in, give me a reason.

There's something in your eyes I know I can't resist.
Something in the air, I don't know why.

Can I believe that your heart still beats for me?
Let me receive a sign that your my destiny.
I wanna know.

Give me a reason for me to believe in, can't you see it in my eyes?




That I need a reason, for I'm still breathing. Is it time to say goodbye?
'Cause deep in my heart I know there's a reason why I am not leaving, why I'm not alone. So give me a reason for me to believe in, give me a reason.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Diamond's "Reason" express a deep desire for clarity and reassurance in a romantic relationship. The singer is drawn to their partner, unable to resist the magnetism between them. However, they also feel a sense of uncertainty and vulnerability, as they struggle to discern whether their partner truly loves them and whether their connection is meant to last. The repetition of the lines "give me a reason" and "I wanna know" underscores the singer's need for concrete answers and tangible evidence of their partner's feelings.


Throughout the song, Diamond's soulful vocals convey a range of emotions, from longing and hopefulness to sadness and resignation. The repetition of the phrase "something in your eyes" suggests that the singer is attuned to subtle nuances in their partner's body language and communication style, but is still searching for a definitive interpretation of their signals. The final plea for a reason to believe in is especially poignant, as it suggests that without some kind of tangible proof of their partner's commitment, the singer may be forced to move on, even though part of them still wishes to hold on.


Overall, "Reason" explores the complex web of emotions that can arise in a romantic relationship, particularly when one partner is uncertain or ambivalent about their feelings. The song's haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics make it a powerful expression of the human desire for connection and understanding.
