The Reason
M.K.J. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For reasons I don't know
Had me bleeding out my soul
Had me fiending for some more
And I still don't know
How to be here on my own
How to right my fucking wrongs
How to leave it all alone
Watch me dive in
Ain't no more need to be hiding
Still I'm trying
No more crying
I can feel the light is shining
Homie I've been
In the deep end
When it feels like you've been drowning
You're surrounded
Oh oh

Yeah you left me cold
You abandoned me without any care or empathy
For reasons I don't know
I'm unsure of the motives behind your actions
Had me bleeding out my soul
You caused me emotional pain and suffering
Had me fiending for some more
I became addicted to the toxic cycle we had
And I still don't know
Even now, I haven't figured it out
How to be here on my own
I struggle with being independent and self-sufficient
How to right my fucking wrongs
I don't know how to fix the mistakes I've made
How to leave it all alone
I find it difficult to let go and move on
We still riding
Despite everything, we're still connected
Watch me dive in
Observe as I immerse myself in this situation
Ain't no more need to be hiding
There's no longer a necessity to conceal myself
Still I'm trying
Nevertheless, I'm making an effort
No more crying
I won't shed any more tears over this
I can feel the light is shining
I sense hope and positivity in my life
Homie I've been
My friend, I have experienced
In the deep end
Being caught in a challenging and overwhelming situation
When it feels like you've been drowning
During times when everything seems overwhelming and suffocating
You're surrounded
I feel trapped and surrounded by difficulties
Oh oh
Expressing a sense of distress or concern
