The Trade - One Less Reason

Everything you’ve said and done

All goes back to where we first begun

And a promise that we made

I’ll give you time to think about it

Do you believe their biggest lie?

The world don’t care how you look or what you drive

Only sees the good inside

I need you to think about it

For all the stars I the sky that couldn’t lead me to you

For all the time that passed keeping me waiting

The compromises I made when I had so much to lose

I couldn’t trade it for you

I could see your fire was gone

You couldn’t say what you loved for what you lost

Only point to the hole inside

Do it wrong and justify it

Tell me how the right words felt like sin

How all the wrong ones slipped right in

Couldn’t stand your ground this time

Do it wrong and justify it

For all the stars I the sky that couldn’t lead me to you

For all the time that passed keeping me waiting

The compromises I made when I had so much to prove

You said I want to trade it for you

I was your biggest failure

You were my endless joke

You took the best part of me

Sold it to save your soul

For all the stars I the sky that couldn’t lead me to you

For all the time that passed keeping me waiting

The compromises I made when I had so much to lose

I couldn’t trade it for you
