You'Re My Reason
I ask myself to hold on
To carry on like nothing's wrong
But there is no more time for lies
The weak one is not the one who cries
They're strong for letting the feelings show
And for trying to let all of their pain go
So why can't I be that strong?
Why can't I let go of everything that is wrong?
What's so messed up in my head
That when I try to sleep
I lie awake in bed?
I find myself not being able to go to sleep
And when I try to find out why, all I do is weep
Because the memories, they haunt me
But the way they torment, no one will ever see
It's not just that I can't let it show, but I won't
And if you want to ask me what's wrong, please, just don't
I don't need the questions, at least not now
All I need is for you to show me that you care somehow
Hold me close, don't ever let go
I love you more, than you ever will know
I know you want the answers that someday you'll receive
But as for right now, all I need is to believe
That someone truly cares, and will always be there
You know just what to do, but it really isn't fair
I want you to be able to hold me in my times of need
I really don't care anymore if I am full of greed
I need you here tonight
So please, don't put up a fight
It isn't really my fault, I can't control what I feel
And honestly, I'm so glad that you had me make that deal
Because there are so many times, so many nights, that I want it to end
And I don't care what people think, I'm thankful that I see you as more than a friend
If it weren't for this, would I be able to listen? be able to refrain?
Would I, or could I, ever deal with all of this pain?
If it weren't for you, I would certainly die
But because of you, the most I do is cry
It's not because of you, that from these eyes tears are being shed
It's because of every tragedy, from every single lie that I've been fed
Mostly it is for the people that I have lost
And many times have I paid the cost
But when you're around, my heart no longer has to pay
Because of you, I actually want to make it through another day
So thank you, for keeping me away from my death
Thank you, so much, for giving me my reason to take another breath
You're the reason I don't let go
The reason that my tears may finally slow
And the reason that there will no longer be any scars to show
