Rachael Yamagata - Reason Why Lyrics

I think about how, it might have been?
We'd spend our days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't wanna be with you
But you only wanted me the way you wanted me

So I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbye's
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why

I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast or where ever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
And I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you it's not the same

So I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why

I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

So steal the show and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you'll find whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door

So I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I, you and I know the reason why
