the reason why
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 want to be with you But you only wanted me The way you wanted me  So, I will head out alone and hope for the best And we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes 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'll buy a magazine searching for your face From coast to coast, or whatever 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 come 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  So, steal the show And do your best to cover the tracks that I have left I wish you well and hope you 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 know the reason why
