Lyrics
REASONS
Lyrics by Christa West
Music by Christa West and Shea Welsh
(Lyrics updated since recorded live)
Years of baggage followed you
Veiled in secrecy
Old ghosts wouldn?t let you rest
So you kept on running
Pre-Chorus:
You found a place
To hide in my soul
Ignoring how you?d hurt me
You?ll never know
Chorus:
There were too many reasons for me to feel let down
There were too many reasons that you couldn?t stick around
There were too many reasons and I couldn?t see them
Things between us were a mess
There were too many reasons, I?ve got to believe them
I know it?s all for the best, oh yes
I can feel it
You had no strength of your own
You lived off my energy
Your past had sapped all your life
So you stole life from me
Pre-chorus:
Soon I had nothing
Nothing left to give
So you took off
And I could finally live
(chorus)
