The Reason
Justian & Mandy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it me? Was it you?
Tell me is the sky blue
Go ahead and tell me how you feelin'
Away from me, how are you?
Girl, I just don't know what to do without you
Now I'm just being myself
Like there ain't nobody else in the whole wide world now
Start believing myself, watch the world start to slow down
Tell me what's the reason?
She told me lately shes been feeling alone
Prolly cuz I turned my back like I was wearing VLone
She said, "I can't believe this shit, how I'm 'supposed to find a new one who could treat me like this?"
But then she moved on real quick
Cuz I put her on a quest, she was addicted to dick, yeah
Now maybe I'm just being narcissistic
It's just hard to revisit when your past look like this one
Its time to start being realistic
Should I be being pessimistic?
Or maybe stop and give a listen
Everything I do is up to me
But what do you want it to be?
Tell me what it gonna be, yeah yeah
Now, will it just be you and me?
Maybe something by the three
Well just have to wait and see, yeah yeah
Girl tell me what's the reason
Was it me? Was it you?
Tell me is the sky blue
Go ahead and tell me how you feelin'
Away from me, how are you?
Girl, I just don't know what to do without you
Now I'm just being myself
Like there ain't nobody else in the whole wide world now
I try to keep to myself
Start believing myself, watch the world start to slow down
Watch the world start to slow down
Watch the world start to slow down
