The Reason
Maika Barbero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the reason
Why?
Oh my
Help me find the reason
Why you're gone
Oh my
Help me find the reason
If I'm wrong
Hiding all my feelings night 'n day long
Set away my fears and let me show
Oh... let me
Free my soul
Right
All right
It's easy to believe
We're fine alone
Right
All right
Pretending you're ok just on your own
Once so close to me all together
Now it ceased to be
Oh no, oh no
Uhh well
I want you to know
I'm sending out this prayer
Can't keep it anymore
The reason
You're the reason
I want you to know
My hope will last forever
Don't forget
Don't forget
No more
Right
We're doing so fine
But I couldn't find
The reason
Why you're gone
