"Reasons To Stay" lyrics

"Reasons To Stay"

I asked Jesus for a sign
And today I haven't cried
It's only 2 PM, but that beats yesterday
So I guess that's a reason to stay
And when you're drunk at 3 AM
You don't call your ex-girlfriend
It's been a couple months since you brought up her name
So I guess that's a reason to stay

But you don't try like you used to
You don't look at me the same
You used to say you're sorry, now whiskey's what you blame
How much can a heart take
Till it's really your last chance?
I'm a giver, but I've given all I can
We both know that I ain't one to walk away
But I'm running out of reasons to stay

If I go find somebody new
I'd lose your mom and sister too
You know me and how much I hate change
So I guess that's a reason to stay
And I ain't perfect either, we all make mistakes
But that don't change

That you don't try like you used to
You don't look at me the same
You used to say you're sorry, now whiskey's what you blame
How much can a heart take
Till it's really your last chance?
I'm a giver, but I've given all I can
We both know that I ain't one to walk away
But I'm running out of reasons to stay

I'm running out of patience
Damn, I hate to say it
Running out of patience and grace and at the end of the day
Finding last resort reasons we're okay
Ain't a good reason to stay

You just don't try like you used to
You don't look at me the same
You used to say you're sorry, now whiskey's what you blame
How much can a heart take
Till it's really your last chance?
I'm a giver, but I've given all I can
We both know that I ain't one to walk away
But I'm running out of reasons to stay
