Reason Why by Rachael Yamagata

[tyresias]

Brianspeak asked for my thoughts on local "community" including: specific chasers, particular drag people, Egale (Where's the energy they put towards same-sex marriage for trans health care?), etc... *Cues magnificient piano* Take it away Rachael...

It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

We can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never died

But you and I
Know the reason why
I'm gone,
And you're still there

So, steal the show and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
But you only showed me the door
