Unreasonable

I’ve got about a dozen ways To let you know I’m walking out, A dozen steps to reach the door And one last kiss to plant the doubt. I’ve prayed about a hundred times For my lips to say the word, A hundred looks into your eyes And one last time it stayed unheard. I’ve thought about a thousand lives Where I don’t stand alone and grieve. A thousand lives where I could stay And this one where I leave. I’ve got about a million voices Whispering in my ear About a million reasons to go, But just a good one to stay here.
