lyrics

There’s not always someone to blame
There’s not always reasons to curse out your name
There’s not always a reason love leaves when the seasons change

No, there wasn’t a reason – you just woke up and didn’t feel the same
So I guess I’ll be leaving if we weren’t meant to be anyway
I’ll remember you fondly but I’ve gotta go my own way

On my own I’m free, I can love what he didn’t see:
The light in my eyes, the warmth in my smile
The love that I feel so fearlessly from the core of my heart

I’d give it all away, but not today
In the rearview I’m crying, but I think that I’ll be okay

When I let go, I’m finally free
I’m dreaming of dancing in lights of the city
Cause New York is calling me louder than you ever called me

I’ll be dancing alone with the girl who is perfect for me
In the mirror she smiles through her tears right back at me
Her green eyes are laughing and she’s stronger than she’s ever been

On her own, she’s free, she can love what he didn’t see:
The light in her eyes, the warmth in her smile
The love that she feels so fearlessly from the core of her crooked heart

She’d give it all away, but not today
In the rearview she’s laughing and I know that she’ll be okay
She’s already miles away
