I'm in love but I am waiting for you

I am waiting for you, my love

I've been in love before but lately I cannot endure

It lays me down too soon without love

Cuts and bruises bleed and turn to scars

But I close my eyes so tight I'm seeing stars

And I hold my breath to see how long I last

In this life obsessed and haunted by my past

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for packing up and moving out and leaving

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for reaching in and kicking out my demons

Love was spoken, hits me deep, it's got me hoping

It will seep inside and fill me up

Now I'm broken and I'm empty and I know for sure

The word itself is not enough

Cuts and bruises bleed and turn to scars

But I close my eyes so tight I'm seeing stars

And I hold my breath to see how long I last

In this life obsessed and haunted by my past

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for packing up and moving out and leaving

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for reaching in and kicking out my demons

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason

Empty again and can't begin letting pieces

Cuts and bruises bleed and turn to scars

But I close my eyes so tight I'm seeing stars

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for packing up and moving out and leaving

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason for reaching in and kicking out my demons

This is my reason, my only reason

You are my reason

Empty again and can't begin letting pieces

This is my reason, my only reason

I guess I should thank you

I'm empty again and can't begin letting pieces
