The Reason Why

The reason why I'm not with you

I thought you didn't want to be with me

I stayed up all last night

Tryin' to figure why

you slammed the door on me

And I thought of all the things

I might have done last night

Some clumsy thing I didn't do

or say just right

I worried myself right

into a brand new day

My eyes are hard with tears

and I just can't think straight

Tell me the reason why you won't explain

and I can't guess

Didn't I touch you right

or should I talk a little less?

Please tell me the reason

please tell me the reason why

The reason why I'm feelin' bad

I'm thinking that

you may be leavin' me

Oh, I spent a lonely night in the kitchen

Tryin' to fight all the tears in me

I'm still at the table

as the day unfolds

With a half a cup of coffee

that by now is cold

The silence that you answered

I don't understand

You know I try to read your face

You know I can’t

Tell me the reason why you won't explain

and I can't guess

Didn't I touch you right

or should I talk a little less?

Please tell me the reason

please tell me the reason why
