A Reason

I have looked for every reason
I could find to keep me sane
Searching for something to believe in
Inside of you to ease the pain

Yet every time I reach that deep
Those walls come up again
And I find it hard to breathe or speak
Much less try to be friends

There's nothing there for me
I can't find the feelings like before
I've tried to look, to search, to see
But I just don't love you anymore
