The Reason - Maddie Poppe

Sitting at a booth, staring outside

Wondering if I’ll ever come across the right guy

Listening to words as he says it’s the end

Then he asked me if I still wanna be friends

And I said, No. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Just let me go

But first…

Just give me a reason

Just a reason why

Cause all these questions in my head are bottling up inside

Just give me a reason even if it breaks my heart

Maybe then it won’t hurt so bad when we’re miles apart

But I want to thank you, cause you cut me off at just the right time

You didn’t drag it out forever

And you only made me cry for a little while

So, I wake up the next day and I’m feeling good

But I’m wondering why I’m not crying like an ex-girlfriend should

But sometimes when I’m all alone and I’m feeling small

I think to pick up my old phone and just give him a call

And I think, No. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

Just let him go

But first…

There’s gotta be a reason, just one reason why

He tried to take my heart, instead he took my summertime

There’s gotta be a reason, even if it breaks my heart

Maybe then it won’t hurt so bad when we’re miles apart

But I want to thank you, cause you cut me off at just the right time

You didn’t drag it out forever

And you only made me cry for a little while

But you let me fall in love so fast

You brushed me off just like this, just like that

And I said, No. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

(But you let me fall in love so fast)

And I said, No. No, no, no.

No, no, no.

(You brushed me off just like this,

just like that)

Still I wanna thank you

Because you cut me off at just the right time

You didn’t drag it out forever

And you only made me cry for a little while

Just a little while
