Lyrics
ONE REASON
VERSE 1
YOU CAN HEAR A PIN DROP
AS IF NO ONE LIVED HERE ANYMORE
YOU HARDLY SAY A WORD TO ME
WHEN YOU WALK THRU THE DOOR
WE BOTH GO THRU THE MOTIONS
THEN GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS
IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE KIDS
YOU WOULD'T BE HERE TODAY
CHORUS
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU LOVED ME
WHEN YOU'D GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR ME
YOU'D HUG ME WHEN YOU SEEN ME
ONE LOOK MADE YOU SMILE
NOT SURE WHY IT HAPPENED
WHAT TOOK THAT LOVE AWAY
BUT NOW THERES ONLY ONE REASON
LEFT FOR YOU TO STAY
VERSE 2
ONLY ONE IN EACH BEDROOM
THE KIDS ROOMS DOWN THE HALL
NO FIGHTING BETWEEN US
ONE LINE PHRASES IF WE TALK
WE BOTH GO THRU THE MOTIONS
THEN GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE KIDS
YOU WOULD'T BE HERE TODAY
CHORUS
EHERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU LOVED ME
WHEN YOU'D GO THAT EXTRA MILE FOR ME
YOU'D HUG ME WHEN YOU SEEN ME
ONE LOOK MADE YOU SMILE
NOT SURE WHY IT HAPPENED
WHAT TOOK THAT LOVE AWAY
BUT NOW THERES ONLY ONE REASON
LEFT FOR YOU TO STAY
ENDING
ONLY ONE REASON
ONLY ONE REASON WHY
ONCE THEY ALL COME OF AGE
YOU'LL BE TELLING ME GOODBYE
ONLY ONE REASON
ONLY ONE REASON WHY
WEV'E TRIED EVERYTHING
NOTHING LEFT TO TRY
