The Reason

Sitting at the bar, telling fairy tales

Pouring whiskey in wishing wells

Mm, feeling sorry for myself

There's only one person in this world that can save me from myself

So I pick up the phone, pray that you're home, I'm all alone

Saying the reason I called you drunk

Is I need your love so bad, so bad it hurts

Baby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed up

Is I need your love so bad, so bad

There's some jerk at the bar smoking a big fat Cuban cigar

And I wave my hands through the smoke

I think I see you, but it's some kind of twisted joke

Oh, you wouldn't be caught dead in here

Just the thought of me crying would make you disappear

But I'm saying the reason I called you drunk

Is I need your love so bad, so bad it hurts

Baby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed up

Is I need your love so bad, so bad, so damn bad

I want a choir to sing

I'm saying the reason I called you drunk

Is I need your love so bad, so bad it hurts

Baby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed up

Is I need your love just so bad, just so bad, so damn bad

Girl, you're the reason

Yeah, you're the reason

You know you're the reason

I need you so bad

Girl, you're the reason

Yeah, you're the reason

You know you're the reason

I need you so bad

I need you so bad
