Reason Being

You would try but you can’t

Reason being: you’re too scared

To fail

 

You would love but you won’t

Reason being: you’re too afraid

Of a broken heart

 

You would go but you refuse

Reason being: you don’t want

To lose what you had before

 

You would make up an excuse but

You can’t, Reason being:

They’ve all been used

 

We would say we can’t

Reason being: we’re afraid of the effort

That comes with can

 

You should move on but it seems you want

Reason being: You just don’t

As time moves on you start to fade

Thinking of time you should’ve gone

As the time flies away, you stay

In the past
