lyrics

Reason for Being

We flirt with life with the thought of really living
We try to take some time to find the spark, that reason for being

I thought I found it over there
I was sure
You were the one
Who would treat me well
I would have given you my life
If you really needed it

But you didn’t value me
Somehow you couldn’t even see
Who I really am
You took me for
Somebody else
Am I so difficult
To comprehend?

We flirt with life with the thought of really living
We try to take some time to find the spark, that reason for being

I gave you my entire being
Every single day
And every night
Tried to bring you to life
With that spark
From deep inside
But you were too uninspired
To ignite

So now I’m here left all alone
With just a song and a tear
While my whole life passed me by
I was just a fool looking for a cause
That reason for being
I thought I’d found my reason for being
Someday I’ll find my reason for being
