Reason to Stay

Reason to Stay

So far away
No chance of uniting
Where there was lightning
The sky is just rain

You didn't call me this week
Didn't call me last week
I do all the talking
And at night I wait

And I wonder what in the darkness you do
You told me that I was the one girl for you
But I ask my heart if I made a mistake
As I toss and turn in the silence, awake

You tell me to stay here, but won't come to me
You needed your space; how much space can you need?
You say that you love me, so don't go away
But I need a reason, a reason to stay
So give me a reason, a reason to stay

Give me a reason
Give me a reason
Give me a reason
A reason to stay

I want a reason
How I want a reason!
Please give me a reason
A reason to stay

So far away
You drove off for chances
In our circumstances
It was the best way

You tell me to hold on
But I've waited so long!
What are you prolonging?
What truth won't you say?

I hate my untrust but I can't believe you
The things that you say aren't the things that you do
And we're sliding farther apart every day
So how can you tell me that it's all okay?

I fear I'm denying the truth that is plain
You don't really love me; I'm only a game
I dreamed that one day you would make me your wife
But now time with me ranks so low in your life

Remember the fusion connecting our brains?
The heat of the summer that flowed through our veins?
The feel of my skin in the grass as we lay?
Isn't that a reason, a reason to stay?
Give me a reason, a reason to stay

Give me a reason Give me a reason Give me a reason A reason to stay I want a reason I need a reason How I want a reason A reason to stay Give me a reason Just one little reason Please give me a reason A reason to stay	I remember the taste of your tongue when we kissed Remember the soft-spoken brush of my lips? I remember the warmth and the strength of your chest Remember the stroke of your cheek on my breast? Remember the love in the middle of the night? Remember the sex in the afternooon light? Euphoria you taught me how to achieve Remember sometimes you forgot how to breathe? How could you simply throw all that away? Isn't that a reason, a reason to stay?

Remember the sex in the afternooon light?
Euphoria you taught me how to achieve
Remember sometimes you forgot how to breathe?

How could you simply throw all that away?
Isn't that a reason, a reason to stay?
