You Were The Reason


You were the reason for romantic fantasies You were the reason for warm and comforting hugs You were the reason for constant daydreams You were the reason for soft kisses and love You were the reason for kindness The reason why I became blind to the bullshit And accepted the less When I knew I wanted more You wanted to kick it with homies While I grew lonely and unhappy Couldn’t fathom you were the reason for it all You were the reason for my confusion You were the reason for my second-guessing I grew tired of wondering I grew tired of all the questions You were the reason for the mind games You were the reason for why I changed Into somebody I didn’t even know You were the reason for a broken heart You didn’t even take responsibility Were you even in love? Or did you grow tired of what was us? You were the reason for insecurity The reason for why I let go of me Nobody came to save me I was stuck becoming my own hero You were the reason for heartache Sorrow And an unrecognizable face You are the reason why I never settle You are the reason why I formed better taste Thank you
