give me a reason



I remember every word from that night
did my best to hide my tears
you barely put up a fight
and we were ending what we had so many years
you tried to keep me from telling you to leave
but you didnt give me a reason to ask you to stay with me
we both had to fight our demons
but you let yours run you away
and even to this day
I wonder where we would be if i didnt push you away
but then i remembered
why i felt that night
we were good together
but it wouldnt last forever
but you didnt want to fight for what we had left
as i pushed you away
inside i was hoping you fight to stay
but you didnt you gave up
so why should i love you when my love isnt enough
for you to fight for
or give me a reason to keep on trying for
