The Reason Why

I think about how it might have been
 We'd spend out days travelin'
 It's not that I don't understand you
 It'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 hear
 I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
 So, I'm up for the little white lies
 But you and I know the reason why
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 I'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 place
 I'll track you on the radio, and
 I'll find your list in a different name
 But as close as I get to you
 It'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 why
 I'm gone, you're still there
 I'm gone, you're still there
 I'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.
