Songtext The reason why Rachael Yamagata

The reason why

I think about how it might have beenWe'd spend out days travelin'It's not that I don't understand youIt's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
And we hang our heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hearI've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason whyI'm gone, and you're still thereI'm gone, and you're still thereI'm gone, and you're still there I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or where ever I find my placeI'll track you on the radio, andI'll find your list in a different name
But as close as I get to youIt's not the same So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
As say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason whyI'm gone, you're still thereI'm gone, you're still thereI'm gone, and you're still there So, steal the show, and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind,
But you only showed me the door So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I, you and I know the reason why.
