My life was a perfect picture,
one of you and I,
but that picture is now shattered,
and I do not know why,
you never gave an explanation,
to why you said goodbye,
you just left me all alone,
and on my own I cry,
so please listen to this song,
hear the words I speak,
with you I was strong,
but it seems these days I'm weak,
I just need you to believe,
that my outlook's getting bleak,
why did you have to leave,
for this answer now I seek,
Well there's gotta be a reason,
that you're sayin' that you're leavin',
please don't take away my reason,
the only reason I'm still breathin',
I've been wondering ever since that day,
but you wouldn't say,
you just walked away,
was it because of me that you couldn't stay,
or was there some extenuating circumstance,
come on, just take a chance,
and tell me the truth, you'll see that I'll forgive,
and we will live, together, forever,
that's the way it's gotta be,
'cause without you there's no hope that I can see,
the potency, since you took my heart from me,
is imminent death, 'cause there's a hole in my chest,
and I gotta fight for every breath,
but each one is less,
don't even know if I'll get the next,
and I must confess, that I get depressed,
'cause I don't wanna die,
without you by my side,
Well there's gotta be a reason,
that you're sayin' that you're leavin',
please don't take away my reason,
the only reason I'm still breathin',
Well there's gotta be a reason,
that you're sayin' that you're leavin',
please don't take away my reason,
the only reason I'm still breathin'...
