Reasons Why
TheRealTaco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I can't sleep at night
I always wanna cry all cuz the reasons why
Sometimes I can't breathe at night
I just wanna die all cuz the reasons why
That's fucked me up

I've been up day and night thinking yeah
Found myself these days and nights drinking here
I think I lost myself yo that's a fact
Loosing your best friend ain't just gon make you sad nah
You were always so damn close and one day you had left
We both had our roads that we chose
That's just the way it goes I guess
But it's sad to see you go

Sometimes I can't sleep at night
I always wanna cry all cuz the reasons why
Sometimes I can't breathe at night
I just wanna die all cuz the reasons why
That's fucked me up

Maybe there's another path we shoulda went
Like over all the years the cash that we spent
Maybe I just need you in my life to vent
Or all the memories we made now since we met yeah
I've always made sure I kept it 100 with you
Aye
I never had much to my name
But what I did I gave to you
It's so sad to see you go

Sometimes I can't sleep at night
I just wanna cry all cuz the reason why
Sometimes I can't breathe at night
I just wanna die all cuz the reasons why
That's fucked me up

That's fucked me up
Ayeeee
Fucked me up




Let me hear you say
It's so sad to see you go
