The Reason

I’ve always been the girl who puts up walls

Who can never let anyone in

The one who likes to hide from her flaws

Used to being attacked so I put up my defense

It makes no sense


With you, it’s different and I can’t figure out why

If you confronted me about it

I would deny it, run away and hide

Afraid of what you may think, i dismiss it

Yet deep down inside


I want to be the reason for your happiness

To be wrapped up in your mess

I would do anything to be your everything

To be the reason for your smile

Even if it is only for a little while


I could stare in your eyes for miles

Makes me feel so far away

yet so close to where I should be

As I lay on your chest I can feel your heart beat

If you even had a clue


It hurts, but I’m addicted to everything you are

No one controls me like you

I just need to be in your arms

Can't even form a complete sentence around you

Random words are all I can say


I want to be the reason for your happiness

To be wrapped up in your mess

I would do anything to be your everything

To be the reason for your smile

Even if it is only for a little while


I know I’ve messed up, and I know I’m unstable

I realize that sometimes I can be hard to handle

You make me goofy and awkward

Why is trying to tell you this so hard?


I'm telling you now

i can't imagine my life without you in it somehow

I don't care what anyone thinks

But this might be meant to be


I want to be the reason for your happiness

To be wrapped up in your mess

I would do anything to be your everything

To be the reason for your smile

Even if it is only for a little while
