Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: The Reason
Lyrics for Album: Letters Never Sent [1994]



"I'm in love with him", she said

With all the innocence of tender years

But somewhere down the road ahead

I could see the same eyes

Filled with bitter tears

I had the inclination

To tell her not to drop her guard

To tell her that life can be hard

But I didn't have the heart



You have to hurt - to understand

You have to get by the best you can

Until you hurt - until you cry

You won't know about love

And the reason you're alive

You have to hurt



She said, "I know he'll never leave me

I never felt it deep inside like this before"

It was good to see her, believe me

But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore



All that expectation

Too naive to really see

Maybe she knew better than me

It was better just to let her be



You have to hurt - to understand

You have to get by the best you can

Until you hurt - until you cry

You won't know about love

And the reason you're alive

You have to hurt



Little sister, you're so sweet

Thinking love runs smooth

You don't know the half of it

We laugh until we lose

There's no way around it



(Chorus)
