You reached your hand out one more time. You see, it's funny you and I. You said you'd be on time. Said you'd never lie. You'd always be there for me. Well, not this time. No, I'm off and running so that I can find THE SIMPLEST REASON I shouldn't leave you behind.
(Chorus) But you weren't there and you don't care about the things that you should. But if you'd say the word then I would forget every single thing.
There were glimpses I adored. You'd show me off and I was floored. Said that I'd go far, said "be who you are." That's not enough for me. No, not this time. I'm off and running so that I can find THE SIMPLEST REASON. I shouldn't leave you behind. (Chorus)
And endless realizations have kept me awake at night. And maybe changing and rearranging will help to make this right. So, I will do my part but you must try to mend my heart. That will be a start. (Chorus)
