The Reasons Why

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I won't try to bring you down about my suicideGot no need to understand about my big surpriseI won't beg to hang you up about my love of lifeIf you promise not to sing about the reasons whyI am writing you a letterGetting betterCan I see you?When...All the lights go out togetherBlame the weatherYeah the cold againIn the darkness for a secondI am sure I see them smiling thenI feel them calling meYeah they are calling me...And I am falling through the starsYou remember now?Yeah I am falling in their armsYou remember how?Oh I am falling through the skyYou remember this ?I am falling in their eyesYou remember the kiss?I won't try to pull you in about my sacrificeMakes no sense to get upset about the other sideI won't beg to put you out about my right to dieIf you promise not to sing about the reasons whyI am calling you at midnightFeeling alright...can I tell you?When?On the line no sound but my wordsMust be night birds on the wire againIn the silence for a secondI am sure I hear them laughing thenI feel them calling meYeah they are calling me...I am falling through the starsYou remember nowYeah, I am falling in their armsYou remember howI am falling through the skyYou remember thisI am falling in their eyesYou remember the kiss"We know"They said"You're holding onTo nothing left of something gone""We know"They said"In letting goOf fear and dreadAnd all you knowYou'll lose the need of certaintyAnd make-believe eternityTo find the true realityIn beautiful infinity...."But I won't try to bring you down about my suicideIf you promise not to sing about the reasons why
