The Only Reason
5 Seconds Of Summer · She Looks So Perfect [Ep] [2014]
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
Tell me, is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line
Taking back the time we can't replace
[Luke]
All the crossed wires,
Just making us tired
Is it too late to bring us back to life?
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason
[Calum:]
I feel you burning under my skin
I swear I see you shining
Brighter than the flame inside your eyes
[Michael:]
Bitter words spoken,
Everything broken
It's never too late to bring us back to life
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason
Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason
Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason
[Michael:]
Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb,
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason
