The Reason – Maddie Poppe

Sitting at a booth, staring outside
Wondering if I’ll ever come across the right guy
Listening to words as he says it’s the end
Then he asked me if I still wanna be friends
And I said, No. No, no, no. No, no, no. Just let me go
But first…

Just give me a reason
Just a reason why
Cause all these questions in my head are bottling up inside
Just give me a reason even if it breaks my heart
Maybe then it won’t hurt so bad when we’re miles apart
But I want to thank you, cause you cut me off at just the right time
You didn’t drag it out forever
And you only made me cry for a little while

So, I wake up the next day and I’m feeling good
But I’m wondering why I’m not crying like an ex-girlfriend should
But sometimes when I’m all alone and I’m feeling small
I think to pick up my old phone and just give him a call
And I think, No. No, no, no. No, no, no. Just let him go
But first…

There’s gotta be a reason, just one reason why
He tried to take my heart, instead he took my summertime
There’s gotta be a reason, even if it breaks my heart
Maybe then it won’t hurt so bad when we’re miles apart
But I want to thank you, cause you cut me off at just the right time
You didn’t drag it out forever
And you only made me cry for a little while

But you let me fall in love so fast
You brushed me off just like this, just like that
And I said, No. No, no, no. No, no, no. (But you let me fall in love so fast)
And I said, No. No, no, no. No, no, no. (You brushed me off just like this, just like that)

Still I wanna thank you
Because you cut me off at just the right time
You didn’t drag it out forever
And you only made me cry for a little while
Just a little while
