Reason from Trickery by Lilith Lane

REASON- Lilith Lane

I’ve got reason
To check over my shoulder now and then
Says he needs me
Says he really wants me back

I ran away from home
To really check my head
Now I’m sure what’s wrong
I’m not going back

I’ve got reasons
you may not believe them
I’ve got reason
To quicken my pace

This one’s for the ones who get away
This one’s for the ones who wanna leave but they just can’t do it

Why do you stay? It’s complicated
I don’t feel safe sometimes, but it’s worse when I’m gone
Sometimes the good’s so good I can forget about the bad
Sometimes the bad is so bad I just don’t think I’ll make it out

He’s hurting , So he hurts her too
She’s hurting “you know you had it coming, had it comin to ya
you know I didn’t mean but you made me do it
just let it go”

Hugs & bruises, love confused and unjust

Behind closed doors
Some things are different
Behind closed doors
Some things you may not notice

I hear you girl, I see you loud
Even though you can’t say
I speak your language
I know your shame

This one’s for the ones who try to leave
This one’s for the ones who aren’t believed

The cops can’t do a thing when he’s in your bed (got a good grip around your neck)
The cops can’t do much when he’s there then gone (face up against your car window)
The cops can’t do a thing when he following you down the street
The cops can’t do much even with a DVO

I’ve got reasons, you may not believe them
I’ve got reason, to quicken my pace

This one’s for the ones who live in fear
This one’s for the kids pulling at your sleeve
This one’s for the ones who have to stay
This one’s for the ones who never get away

I’ve got reason,
To check over my shoulder now and then
Says he needs me
Says he really wants me back

Hugs & bruises, love confused and unjust
