0:08Took a sharp knife
0:10More than once or twice to the heart of this
0:14And you threatened it
0:16Metaphorically, accidentally
0:20You called me your everything
0:24And the pressure I have to emphasize
0:29Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
0:33Still so earnestly, over carefully
0:37Questions crept back into my head again
0:42That's when
0:43I knew suddenly, I would be leaving
0:49And neither of us saw it coming
0:53If only you had a good reason
0:59That's when I knew
1:02Honestly you would start bleeding
1:06Just to cover it up for my feelings
1:10If only you had a good reason
1:15♪
1:17Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay?
1:21Your too nice to me, when I tell you things
1:25You don't want to hear, like I spent the year
1:29Over promising, over everything
1:33That's when
1:34I knew suddenly, you would be grieving
1:40I'm only half sure that I mean it
1:44If only I had a good reason
1:51But I bet you'll probably sit there and take it
1:57Well that only makes me regret it
2:02If only I had a good reason
2:06♪
2:10If only I had a good reason
2:13If only it wasn't bad timing
2:18If only I chose you and not me
2:22If only we leaned into fighting
2:26If only you got disappointed
2:30If only I kept every promise
2:35If only you treated me poorly
2:39If only you didn't adore me
2:44♪
2:48If only you didn't adore me
2:51I knew suddenly I would be leaving
2:57And neither of us saw it coming
3:01If only you had a good reason
3:08That's when I knew
3:10You'd probably sit there and take it
3:14That only makes me regret it
3:19If only I had a good reason
3:23♪
3:27If only I had a good reason
3:31If only I chose you and not me
3:35If only I had a good reason
3:39If only I chose you and not me
3:44If only I had a good reason
3:48If only I had a good reason
3:52If only
3:54If only
3:55♪
