The Reason Why
Rachael Yamagata

I think about how it might have been

We'd spend our days traveling

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 and hope for the best

And we can hang out heads down

As we skip the goodbyes

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 wherever I find my place

I track you on the radio

And I 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 and 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 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



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 have changed my mind

But you only showed me the door



So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

We can pat ourselves on the back

And say that we tried

And then 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
