Good Reason lyrics

Took a sharp knife
More than once or twice to the heart of this
And you threatened it
Metaphorically, accidentally
You called me your everything
And the pressure I have to emphasize
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
Still so earnestly, over carefully
Questions crept back into my head again
That's when
I knew suddenly, I would be leaving
And neither of us saw it coming
If only you had a good reason
That's when I knew
Honestly you would start bleeding
Just to cover it up for my feelings
If only you had a good reason
Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay?
Your too nice to me, when I tell you things
You don't want to hear, like I spent the year
Over promising, over everything
That's when
I knew suddenly, you would be grieving
I'm only half sure that I mean it
If only I had a good reason
But I bet you'll probably sit there and take it
Well that only makes me regret it
If only I had a good reason
If only I had a good reason
If only it wasn't bad timing
If only I chose you and not me
If only we leaned into fighting
If only you got disappointed
If only I kept every promise
If only you treated me poorly
If only you didn't adore me
If only you didn't adore me
I knew suddenly I would be leaving
And neither of us saw it coming
If only you had a good reason
That's when I knew
You'd probably sit there and take it
That only makes me regret it
If only I had a good reason
If only I had a good reason
If only I chose you and not me
If only I had a good reason
If only I chose you and not me
If only I had a good reason
If only I had a good reason
If only
If only
