"Good Reason (I Love You, I'm Sorry)" lyrics
Took a sharp knife, more than once or twice
To the heart of this, and you threatened it
Metaphorically, accidentally
You called me your everything
And the pressure, I have to emphasize
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
Still, so earnestly, over-carefully
Questions crept back into my head again
That's when
I knew, suddenly, I would be leaving
And neither of us saw it coming
If only you had a good reason
But that's just the way life goes
I like to slam doors closed
Trust me, I know it's
Always about me
I love you, I'm sorry
Two summers from now, we'll have been talking
But not all that often, we're cool now
I'll be on a boat, you're on a plane
Going somewhere, same
Now you go alone, charm all the people you trained for
You mean well but aim low
And I'll make it known
Like I'm getting paid
That's when
I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding
Just to cover it up from my feelings
If only I had a good reason
'Cause that's just the way life goes
I push my luck, it shows
Thankful you don't send
Someone to kill me
I love you, I'm sorry
I knew, suddenly you would be grieving
(You were the best, but you were the worst
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first
I was a dick, it is what it is
A habit to kick, the age-old curse)
I'm only half sure that I mean it
(I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad)
If only I had a good reason
(I stare at the crash, it actually works
Making amends, this shit never ends)
Oh, but I bet you'd probably sit there and take it
(You were the best, but you were the worst
As sick as it sounds, I loved you first
I was a dick, it is what it is
A habit to kick, the age-old curse)
Well, that only makes me regret it
(I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad)
If only I had a good reason
(I stare at the crash, it actually works
Making amends, this shit never ends
I'm wrong again, I'm wrong again)
The way life goes
Joyriding down our road
Lay on the horn to
Prove that it haunts me
I love you, I'm sorry
To the heart of this, and you threatened it
Metaphorically, accidentally
You called me your everything
And the pressure, I have to emphasize
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
Still, so earnestly, over-carefully
Questions crept back into my head again
That's when
I knew, suddenly, I would be leaving
And neither of us saw it coming
If only you had a good reason
But that's just the way life goes
I like to slam doors closed
Trust me, I know it's
Always about me
I love you, I'm sorry
Two summers from now, we'll have been talking
But not all that often, we're cool now
I'll be on a boat, you're on a plane
Going somewhere, same
Now you go alone, charm all the people you trained for
You mean well but aim low
And I'll make it known
Like I'm getting paid
That's when
I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding
Just to cover it up from my feelings
If only I had a good reason
'Cause that's just the way life goes
I push my luck, it shows
Thankful you don't send
Someone to kill me
I love you, I'm sorry
