Reason Why
Ron Pope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was praying for a chance to take
And every sleepless night that I have known
Has brought me here and so I hope
That times will change, and I'll feel safe and you won't go away
Yeah, times will change, and I'll feel safe and you won't go away
Chorus
I've searched for something real, and I believe this
You found me on the ground where I was bleedin'
And you came around
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless,
Here you are, you see my scars, but still you're dryin' these eyes
Cause you are my, you are my, you are my reason why
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
I was searchin' for a place to go, somewhere to rest my head
I'm tired of being alone
And if theres room for me inside your bed
Just keep me warm, and don't forget
That life is sweet, so no regrets, and let's not sleep alone
Yeah, life is sweet, so no regrets, and let's not sleep alone
Chorus
And what would you say, if I told you my secrets
If I sang you my song
Would you walk away, or would you hold on
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless
But here you are, you see my scars, and you're still dryin' these eyes
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
I'd had enough, I'd given up, I was broken
Left to rust, hollowed out, life seemed hopeless
But here you are, you see my scars, and you're still dryin' these eyes
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
You are my, you are my, you are my reason why
You are my , you are my, you are my reason why
