The Reason

With the last guy
I never opened up
He tried to get in deep
But I went and switched it up
Cause If we talked about the past
He'd wanna talk about mine
Was terrified
Of what he'd find

Now I tend to evade all emotion
Don't think twice bout the person I'm using
Or get caught in that old game of guessing
All to avoid getting hurt again

I push them away
And dodge every call
Drag em through pain
Then say it's their fault
Go out at night, have sex with strangers
Distance myself, like second nature
That way when they're leavin'
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know the reason

Their paying the price,
When I'm the one that's hard
But there's no way in hell
That I'll let em catch me off guard,
Cause if they hurt me when they left
Then I'd be back to square one
What I've become
I can't outrun

Now I tend to evade all emotion
Don't think twice bout the person I'm using
Or get caught in that old game of guessing
All to avoid getting hurt again

I push them away
And dodge every call
Drag em through pain
Then say it's their fault
Go out at night, have sex with strangers
Distance myself, like second nature
That way when they're leavin'
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know the reason
