You're the Reason

Everybody told you it's a cold, cruel world
 But you ain't believe in it, you're an independent girl
 Till you left your hometown and you straightened your curls
 When the strings you used to ride along were cut and unfurled
 And I was I sure that you were nothing short of ignorant
 Failure always imminent
 The kind of girl of stumbles through her life, a village idiot
 But oh I was wrong, 'thought I had you pinned and ended it
 So now when you walk by I try to analyze like Benedict
 Searching for a clue to solve the plague this question brings to me
 The wrinkles on your sweater, or the way your clothes lack synergy
 A scuff you never buffed away, nothing's what it seems to be
 We've both been missing something
 Since I lost the gift of empathy, and
 You the reason I'm on fire
 You the reason I've been burning down
 These bridges, water tumbles like the dryer
 You the reason I still cry
 You the reason I still stare
 Outside my window trynna re-support the sky
 Once I left this town where we grew up
 I didn't think that everything would be so tough but
 All the strangers on the street who are in love (ay)
 They remind me of the thing I want the most cause
 When I listen to all our favorite songs it's
 Hard to imagine things would get ever so wrong but
 Maybe baby one day you'll see
 That I belong to you and you belong to me
 You the reason I'm on fire
 You the reason I've been burning down
 These bridges, water tumbles like the dryer
 You the reason I still cry
 You the reason I still stare
 Outside my window trynna re-support the sky
