I’ve Got Reasons

[Verse 1]
I said heavy is the hand with a loaded gun
Didn't mean to hurt you, I was only having fun
Aiming for your head, but I hope I miss
It was only a drink, it was only a kiss

[Verse 2]
Maybe we were young and not that smart
Playing bloody knuckles with soft, soft hearts
And do you think we get what we deserve?
All the words we said, oh, the goddamn nerve

[Chorus]
And I've got a bullet train running through my veins
I can't seem to make it stop
Well, it takes and it takes and it won't hit the brakes
The other shoe's bound to drop
You can blame it on the night, blame it on you
We both know that ain't the truth
'Cause I've got reasons, I've got reasons
I got reasons for leaving you

[Verse 3]
It'll all go down better with liquor and wine
Smoke a half a cigarette sitting outside
Well, I shook so hard that I burned myself
Well, why does the right thing gotta hurt like hell?

[Chorus]
And I've got a bullet train running through my veins
I can't seem to make it stop
Well, it takes and it takes and it won't hit the brakes
The other shoe's bound to drop
You can blame it on the night, blame it on you
We both know that ain't the truth
'Cause I've got reasons, I've got reasons
I got reasons

[Bridge]
It was only a girl, it was only a night
And damn it, that's all I had to say
Coulda told you the truth and tried to make right
All I did was walk away
It was only a girl, only a night
Instead, I just walked away

[Chorus]
And I've got a bullet train running through my veins
It takes and it takes and it takes and it takes and it takes
You can blame it on the night, blame it on you
We both know that ain't the truth
'Cause I've got reasons, I've got reasons
I got reasons for leaving you
