From the recording The Benefit of Doubt
Lyrics
So we had this plan where you'd go on the road
See how things go
And no matter what happened
You'd come back and gather me
I can see in the magazines
You've had some success
So much closer to your dreams
That was always our best guess
But you have not gathered me
You say you have your reasons
There's aways reasons
Do you see this scar?
It's been here all along
Not from you, from a time long gone
But it's why I'm walking away
I know the story, I know the song
It's old
But I just thought we were worth a try
I can see the lampshade's faded
I'm sitting here, serenaded by déjà vu
It's time to call it a day
I have my reasons, there's always reasons
Do you see this scar?
It's been here all along
Not from you, from a time long gone
But it's why I'm walking away
All rise, all rise and say
There's a broken-hearted little girl
In every broken heart that's in this world
All rise, all rise and sing
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you bring
There's always gonna be one more thing
And there's always reasons
So we had this plan
Where you'd go on the road
See how things go
And you'd come back and gather me
Sometimes, this is how that story ends
No words were spoken
But this time, the only crime
Is just failure to appear
Do you see this heart?
It's been here all along
Scarred but strong
And it's why I'm walking away
