The reason I will

I will get up this time ok.

Because this time I’ve got something to say.

 

I know I can’t be some legend like you

I know I couldn’t have done all the things you could do

I know I want to be more then I am, so instead of saying I can’t I will say I can.

I have to stand now because you went and fell.

I have to talk because you can never tell.

I have to be strong no matter what I feel.

Thanks for telling me I can’t you are the reason I will.

Give me a reason and it better be good this time,

Or is everything you said to me a slap to the face

Just great what I need another lie

You said to me once there’s and easy way and a right way

Even now I say those words everyday

Even now I stay

Even though everything you lived for feels like it’s been thrown away

Yes I cried yes I cursed

Could you blame me no,

Because you have no idea how much it hurt

I looked up to you we all did

We did everything and anything you said

So put me out of my misery because everything I lived for is history

Even now we stay we teach

I’m on a new path now one yours would never meet

I have no idea how to heal

Thank for saying I can’t

You’re just another reason I will

No you right I can’t lie I would run up and slap you if you were alive

I would have cried I would have cursed because you have no idea how much we all would have hurt

Yes we hurt you know how we feel…

 

So thanks for being there for us you are the reason we will
