Testo Good Reason - Gracie Abrams

Good Reason

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?
You're too nice to me when I tell you things
You don't want to hear, like I spent the year
Overpromising, 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
Oh, 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
Well, that only makes me regret it
If only I had a good reason (If only I had a good reason, I don't)

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
