I'm The Reason

Tank · One Man [2002]

[VERSE 1]

Many nights I wondered why

You would just up and leave my life

Many days I stayed at home

Tired of life just need to be alone



[BRIDGE]

I can't see life without you and me

I can't see or be anything else

You're long gone when I need you here

And I can't blame nobody but myself



[CHORUS]

So I'm the reason why we're apart

I'm the reason why you won't stay (I'm the reason)

I'm the cause of these broken hearts

I'm the reason why love I know is leaving my life



[VERSE 2]

Many nights I followed you

Just to see if you were telling the truth

Many days I questioned you

I just didn't trust what you said you'll do (oh yeah)



[BRIDGE]

I can't see life without you and me

I can't see or be anything else (oh yes)

You're long gone when I need you here

And I can't blame nobody but myself



[CHORUS]

So I'm the reason why we're apart (I'm the reason why)

I'm the reason why you won't stay (oh the reason)

I'm the cause of these broken hearts (these broken hearts)

I'm the reason why love I know is leaving my life



So I'm the reason why we're apart

I'm the reason why you won't stay (ohhh)

I'm the cause of these broken hearts

I'm the reason why love I know is leaving my life



x5 I'm the reason why we're apart



I'm the reason why

Can't believe I'm

I'm the reason why

I'm the reason why
