Chris Wright
You’re the Reason
[Verse 1: Chris Wright]
And everybody told you it's a cold, cruel world (Cruel world)
But you ain't believe in it, you're an independent girl
'Til you left your hometown and you straightened your curls (Don't do it)
When the strings you used to ride along were cut and unfurled
And I was sure that you were nothing short of ignorant (No, no)
Failure always imminent (Oh yeah)
The kind of girl who stumbles through her life, a village idiot
But oh, I was wrong (All wrong), thought I had you pinned and ended it
So now when you walk by I try to analyze like Benedict (Show me)
Searching for a clue to solve the plague this question brings to me
The wrinkles on your sweater, or the way your clothes lack synergy
A scuff you never buffed away, nothing's what it seems to be
We've both been missing something since I lost the gift of empathy, and
[Chorus: Chris Wright]
You're the reason I'm on fire
You're the reason I've been burning down these bridges
Water tumbles like the dryer, yeah
You're the reason I still cry
You're the reason I still stare outside my window tryna re-support the sky, yeah
[Verse 2: Limbo]
Once I left this town where we grew up, I
I didn't think that everything would be so tough, but
All the strangers on the street who are in love, they
They remind me of the thing I want the most, 'cause
When I listen to all our favorite songs, it's
Hard to imagine things would ever get so wrong, but
Maybe baby, one day you'll see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
[Chorus: Chris Wright & Limbo]
You're the reason I'm on fire
You're the reason I've been burnin' down these bridges
Water tumbles like the dryer, yeah
You're the reason I still cry
You're the reason I still stare outside my window tryna re-support the sky, yeah
[Outro: Limbo]
Lie-la-lie, la-lie, la-lie
Lie-la-lie, la-lie, la-lie
Lie-la-lie, la-lie, la-lie
Lie-la-lie, la-lie, la-lie
