Reasons

If you liked saying "You're mine"

Why turn it into "Goodbye"?

And if I was all that you set out to find

Why leave it behind?

If you got scared of my words

Why not discuss what you think you had heard?

Your convictions and fear of restraints

Are self-imposed and unexplained

You're hurting

Both me and you

When I ask you for reasons why

You don't have a clue

Still you claim it's the right decision

But I'm telling you

It's a future regret

That you haven't thought through

Why would you use the word "love"

Just as you leave?

And why would you make such an effort

To let me believe

That it was safe to give in?

That our journey was only about to begin

Why would you tell me I'm yours

And then blame me for being sure?

You're hurting

Both me and you

When I ask you for reasons why

You don't have a clue

You're in a dark place

That I recognize too

But I finally escaped

And you just fell through

Do your choices depend on everyone else?

Is this self-sabotage a cry for help?

I needed explanations

But I'm left with more questions, like:

Why are you doing this to yourself?

No, I don't hate you

I'm not even mad

Daring to love has a risk

Of ending this sad

But neither of us had a choice

The instant connection, the laughter, the joy

Our prospect exceeded the cost

Now all that we could be is lost

You're hurting

Both me and you

I ask you for reasons

But you don't know what you do

Still you claim it's the right decision

But that isn't true

It's a future regret

You haven't thought through

In the future you'll search for the reasons too
