Lyrics for Good Reason

Took a sharp knife More than once or twice to the heart of this And you threatened it Metaphorically, accidentally You called me your everything And the pressure I have to emphasize Made our roof cave in, built by idiots Still so earnestly, over carefully Questions crept back into my head again That's when I knew suddenly, I would be leaving And neither of us saw it coming If only you had a good reason That's when I knew Honestly you would start bleeding Just to cover it up for my feelings If only you had a good reason Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay? Your too nice to me, when I tell you things You don't want to hear, like I spent the year Over promising, over everything That's when I knew suddenly, you would be grieving I'm only half sure that I mean it If only I had a good reason But I bet you'll probably sit there and take it Well that only makes me regret it If only I had a good reason If only I had a good reason If only it wasn't bad timing If only I chose you and not me If only we leaned into fighting If only you got disappointed If only I kept every promise If only you treated me poorly If only you didn't adore me If only you didn't adore me I knew suddenly I would be leaving And neither of us saw it coming If only you had a good reason That's when I knew You'd probably sit there and take it That only makes me regret it If only I had a good reason If only I had a good reason If only I chose you and not me If only I had a good reason If only I chose you and not me If only I had a good reason If only I had a good reason If only If only
