I was fine, I'd moved on,
But here you are,
Standing right in front of me.
You're talking and smiling,
Playing with my hair,
You're charms, they don't work anymore,
I see you for who you are now.
All the emotions I'd buried,
All the pain and lies,
Everthing I'd tried to forget,
I'm starting to remember now.
The reasons why I left you,
The reasons why I wanna run and hide,
The reasons why I cried so many nights,
The reasons why I ran away from myself,
The reasons why I never wanted to trust another man,
The reasons why I never wanted to love,
All the reasons why I locked my heart up
...and threw the key away.
You're trying to hold my hands again,
Just like old times, you tell me,
But I just wanna pull away.
You say that I look beautiful,
You say you want to start over,
But this time I won't falter.
All the tears I'd controlled,
All the hurt I'd kept down,
Everything I thought was gone,
I'm starting to feel again.
The reasons why I'm standin' in the cold,
The reasons why the tears won't stop falling,
The reasons why I hated your touch,
The reaons why I hate looking in the mirror,
The reasons why I can't get close to anyone,
The reasons why I feel lost and alone,
All the reasons why I locked my heart up
... and threw the key away.
I was hiding from myself,
But he found me, he restored me,
And I appreciate him more now,
Because of you...
Now the darkness is surrounding me,
And I think there's no escape,
But then I hear his voice pull me back,
And I remember all the reasons why,
The reasons why I opened up again,
The reasons why I trusted again,
The reasons why I believe in all that is good and true,
The reasons why I love his touch,
The reasons why I love him so much,
The reasons I feel so happy and complete,
The reasons why I go to bed with a smile,
The reasons why he means so much to me,
The reasons why I never wanna lose him,
...and it's all because of you.
Rancorous emotions storming at the start and the clearing of the storm with the first rays of light piercing the dark clouds as a sign of hope towards the end.....It is beautiful Jen :). Excellent as usual :D
