lyrics:

The reasons why are coming back to me

The reasons why are coming back to me

Changes from the start

Taking down my heart

Lookin’ me in the eye

With petty lies

The reasons why are coming back to me

The reasons why are coming back to me

Down the lonely road

Carrying a heavy load

The truth passes by

and slowly dies

The reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons why are coming back to me

The reasons why are coming back to me

The reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons why are gonna take control

The reasons why are gonna make me whole

The reasons why are coming back to me

The reasons why are coming back to me

The fog is starting to clear

I got nothin’ to fear

Into the blue sky

Watch me fly

The reasons why

The reasons why

The reasons why only I can see

The reasons why are gonna set me free

liner notes:

I wrote this song about a woman who is a relationship with a man and he has cheated on her. The song goes through all the stages of feelings and the burden of this betrayal and finally the recovery from it. The Bhudist-like chant starts the song with everything perfect and then an angry electric comes in and destroys the calmness with a storm and finally, in recovery, the chant comes back.
