The Only Reason Lyrics

[Intro: Ashton]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh

[Verse 1: Michael]
Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?
Tell me, is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line
Taking back the time we can't replace

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
All the crossed wires just makin' us tired
Is it too late to bring us back to life?

[Chorus: All]
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never givin' up
You're the reason, the only reason

[Verse 2: Calum]
I feel you burning under my skin
I swear I see you shinin'
Brighter than the flame inside your eyes

[Pre-Chorus: Michael]
Bitter words spoken, everything's broken
It's never too late to bring us back to life

[Chorus: All]
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never givin' up
You're the reason, the only reason

[Bridge: Ashton, Luke]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(You're the reason, the only reason)
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(You're the reason, the only reason)

[Breakdown: Michael]
Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?

[Chorus: All, Ashton]
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never givin' up
You're the reason, the only reason
When I close my eyes and try to sleep (Oh-oh)
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb (Oh-oh)
I swear my heart is never givin' up (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
You're the reason, the only reason
