Rachael Yamagata - Reason Why

I think about how it might
have been
we'd spend our 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 and
hope for the best
and we can hang our 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 whatever i find my place
i'll track you on the radio
and i'll sign your list in a
different name
but as close as i come 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've 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 if one of us makes it big
we can spill our regrets
and talk about how the
love never dies
but you and i but you and i
you and i know the reason why
I think about how it might
have been
we'd spend our days travelin'
it's not that i don't

it's not that i don't want to
