Every Reason to Leave

[Verse 1] You only picked up my fallen phone That’s all it should have ever been But something in your quiet kindness Woke the heart I’d left asleep At home, someone is kind to me And nothing in that life is false Nothing there was ever broken Still, my heart keeps looking for you [Chorus] Every reason to let you go Becomes one more reason to see you Holding on to both my worlds Is more than love—it’s my selfishness Even if I lose you, I can still go home Where a light is waiting for me [Verse 2] You watch the time and tell me I should go I hide your watch and laugh it off Desire is wanting you for myself Love is knowing when to set you free I know the difference all too well Still, I’m the one who doesn’t want to leave [Bridge] This love hurts more than I can say But I refuse to call it a regret “I wish we’d never met” are words I could never say to you [Final Chorus] Every reason to let you go Becomes a memory of loving you Though I still can’t choose a life There’s one thing I know is true You taught me happiness can live Not only in being loved—but loving you
