Good Reason - Gracie Abrams

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?

You're too nice to me when I tell you things

You don't want to hear like I spent the year

Overpromising 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

Oh 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

Well that only makes me regret it

If only I had a good reason

If only I had a good reason I don't

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
