My Reason

I know that I am just a voice you hear,
A face you see sometimes at night.
But when I hear your voice I shudder,
And when my eyes meet yours I can't deny.....

That this is not a dream
I have to scream
Don't slowly fade
Or be afraid
Of knowing my name
Knowing my name
I won't stop this feeling
It is my reason
I chose to fall
But not to crawl
Away

It's late, it's time to say goodbye.
The moon is full, I grab your hand again.
But as I walk away I stumble,
Remembering your skin I can't pretend.....

That this is just a dream
I want to scream
If you slowly fade
I'll be afraid
Of knowing your name
Knowing your name
I won't stop this feeling
It is my reason
I'll choose to fall
But not to crawl
Away

You turn your head
I kiss your cheek only
I go to bed
Broken, lonely.

But I won't stop this feeling
It is my reason
To stay
I won't crawl away.
