The Reason
Hariz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You cried, all out of tissues
You try to forget me
I'd love someway to fix you
Kinda, kinda just wish you
Never even met me
I don't know what's easier yet
But what's killing me the most
Is how you look at me different
I didn't want to go
But it don't make a difference
Now you been saying you don't believe in
Believe in love without leaving
And what's killing me the most
Is I know that I'm the reason
You say one day I'll realize
This all happened in real life
And I'm never getting you back
Oh, I know what I did
I know what I said
But that doesn't mean I don't care
And maybe you're right I'll have my regrets
But right now with you standing there
But what's killing me the most
Is how you look at me different
I didn't want to go
But it don't make a difference
Now you been saying you don't believe in
Believe in love without leaving
And what's killing me the most
Is I know that I'm the reason
Oh, now you don't believe in
Believe in love without leaving
And what's killing me the most
Is I know that I'm the reason

I'm why you got these issues
I am the cause of your problems
You cried, all out of tissues
You were so upset that you ran out of tissues to wipe your tears
You try to forget me
You are attempting to erase me from your memory
I'd love someway to fix you
I wish there was a way for me to make things better for you
Kinda, kinda just wish you
I sort of wish that we had never met
Never even met me
It would have been better if we never crossed paths
I don't know what's easier yet
I can't decide whether it's easier to give in or to fight
To fall or be the one on the edge
To succumb to my emotions or to be the one trying to hold on
But what's killing me the most
The most painful thing for me is
Is how you look at me different
The way you look at me has changed
I didn't want to go
I didn't want to leave
But it don't make a difference
But that doesn't matter now

And what's killing me the most
The most painful thing for me is
Is I know that I'm the reason
I am fully aware that I am responsible for this situation
You say one day I'll realize
You believe that one day I will come to understand
This all happened in real life
That this wasn't just a dream or a fantasy
And I'm never getting you back
And I won't have the chance to reconcile with you
Oh, I know what I did
I am completely aware of my actions and their consequences
I know what I said
I am fully aware of what I uttered
But that doesn't mean I don't care
But that doesn't mean that I don't feel anything
And maybe you're right I'll have my regrets
Perhaps you're correct, and I will regret my decisions
But right now with you standing there
However, with you standing in front of me at this moment
Oh, now you don't believe in
Now you refuse to have faith in
Believe in love without leaving
The notion of love is impossible for you to maintain
And what's killing me the most
The most painful thing for me is
Is I know that I'm the reason
I am fully aware that I am the cause of this distressing situation

WhAt tHe HeLl! THE AMOUNT BY WHICH THIS IS UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!! INFURIATES ME!!!!!!!!! [no offense but] his songs are better than 99% singers in the music industry of he world, and that 99% includes jackson, madonna, lady gaga, and what not! [no offense again plz]
Like, I have created a separate playlist on Spotify where specifically "only" the songs of him and another fav Indian singer of mine, is there. After I heard this, I got my favourite English [the language] singer.
