One good reason to get out of bed.
Give me one good reason to breathe.
One good reason to believe the promises
You whispered back to me.
One good reason…
That’s all I need.
I believed you when you said
There’d never be another.
We built tomorrow with our hands,
Then watched it disappear.
I never saw the cracks beneath
The picture we had made.
Funny how forever
Can unravel in a day.
Give me…
One good reason…
To keep believing
Love still lives.
One good reason…
To stop looking backward.
One good reason…
To begin again.
Was it always in your plans
To leave before the story’s done?
Or did we simply lose ourselves
One little piece at a time?
I’m not asking you to stay
If your heart has already gone.
I’m only trying to remember
Who I was before the fall.
Maybe broken isn’t broken…
Maybe broken’s just a place
Where tomorrow
Finds a way
To let the light
Back in.
Give me…
One good reason…
And maybe
I’ll find another.
One becomes two…
Two becomes hope…
Hope becomes life.
Sometimes…
That’s enough.
