The Reason
Isa Molin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never hard to find
Always thought that you have me
Till the end of time.
That is true in a way cause
I will stay in your mind
As a painful reminder
Of your ugly lies.
No you couldn't resist her moves
It's funny you will miss me so much
When I dare to get over you.
Cause You're the reason I
Can't
Can't believe in love when Im heartless.
You're the reason
I don't
Don't believe any words no more.
You're The reason I always will expect the worst
Cause I can't
Can't believe in love when Im heartless.
You keep saying you want me
And I know you do.
There Just one little issue
That you want her too.
You can't cure yourself with me now
All My powers are gone
So why don't you drag yourself out
For a little more fun
Cause I guess that I wasn't enough
No you couldn't resist her moves
It's funny you will miss me so much
When I dare to get over you.
Cause You're the reason I
Can't
Can't believe in love when Im heartless.
You're the reason
I don't
Don't believe any words no more.
You're The reason I always
Will expect the worst
Cause I can't
Can't believe in love when Im heartless.
You're the reason (I'm heartless) 2times
In "The Reason," Isa Molin sings about a painful breakup that has left her feeling heartless and unable to believe in love. The song is addressed to an ex-lover who had been unfaithful to her, but keeps trying to come back to her. Molin acknowledges that she was always there for him, but he couldn't resist the other woman's charms. Now Molin has lost her faith in love and trust, and is wary of ever letting herself be vulnerable again. She sings, "You're the reason I can't believe in love when I'm heartless. You're the reason I don't believe any words no more. You're the reason I always expect the worst, 'cause I can't believe in love when I'm heartless."
In the chorus, "heartless" can be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, it refers to Molin's emotional state - she feels like she doesn't have a heart anymore, drained of all the love and feeling that she once had. On the other hand, "heartless" can be seen as a play on words, meaning "without a heart" or "cruel." Molin's ex-lover is "heartless" because he broke her heart, but also because he continues to string her along even though he knows he doesn't truly love her.
The verse of the song makes it clear that Molin is not going to be fooled again. She knows her ex isn't over the other woman, and she's not going to wait around for him to figure things out. She tells him to go have his fun, because she's not coming back. The song ends with Molin repeating the chorus, emphasizing how much her ex's actions have hurt her and how hard it is to move on from the pain he's caused.
Overall, "The Reason" is a powerfully emotional song that captures the pain and frustration of a breakup. Molin's lyrics are insightful and honest, and her raw vocals add to the intensity of the song's message.
