Reaching For Reasons
Reaching For Reasons
Reaching for reasons to go on
Living my life as I do
Nothing I say makes a difference
Need to break away from you
Searching my heart for some guidance
Nothing is certain I know
I meet a wall of resistance
Really i might as well go
Running around in big circles
Over the same ground again
Trying so hard to do what's right
Feeling my own hurt and pain
So sad that love doesn't live here
Shouting is breaking me down
Killing me slowly from inside
Turning my smile to a frown
Tears are my only solution
To shut you out when you start
Falling in tracks down my face now
Burning deep holes in my heart
My mind is in total turmoil
Staying is all I can do
There is no place I can run to
That takes me away from you
Trying to look to the future
Knowing this might end one day
Wishing and hoping it's here soon
Don't want to go on this way
Closing my mind to the hurting
Breathing real deep to stay calm
Feeling my heart beating loudly
Want to feel safe in your arms
Locking down all my emotions
Clearing the pain from my heart
Shaking from all the frustration
Knowing for sure we must part
Closing my eyes really tight now
Wishing I could stop this pain
Go back and do it all different
Start it all over again
How'd we lose track of the magic
All the good things that we shared
What we have now is just heartache
So long since i felt you cared
Reaching for reasons to go on
Living my life as I do
Nothing I say makes a difference
Need to break away from you
