The Reason I Stay
Lyrics
How many times
Will I take this rollercoaster ride
Make myself sick before I realize
I can just step off?
And how many nights
Will I keep driving on an empty tank
Every mile I go a little more insane
When I can make it stop?
When, "I love you," rolls right off your tongue
I forget your mouth's a loaded gun
Yeah, baby, you're the reason I'm crazy
And lately you're the reason I cry
And you're the only reason I hate me
And love you at the same damn time
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
And somehow believe that you'll change?
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
And, baby, you're the reason I stay
When you're good, it's so fun
And holding you is like a last of the sun
But then you drop me down when I ain't got a parachute
Falling from the cloud that you just sent me to
Baby, that's the reason I'm crazy
And lately you're the reason I cry
And you're the only reason I hate me
And love you at the same damn time
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
And somehow believe that you'll change?
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
And, baby, you're the reason I stay
Oh, I wanna walk away
But I can't walk away
And baby, that's the reason I'm crazy
Baby, that's the reason I hate me
For loving you all the damn time
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
And somehow believe that you'll change?
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
And, baby, you're the reason I stay
You're the only reason I stay
