Give Me A Reason (K. Lafty)

obscurity stole the light
i had visions of securing me a new life
somewhere the grass is greener
this history's no friend of mine
you keep haunting me
pulling me back in time

you took me for granted
i am not sure i felt it
lost me in the madness
we are not saints
give me a reason
sounding off back and forth
and i'll be giving you a reason to stay

this purity turned to dust
i had visions of a safer place for us
under lock and key
i'll forget about the plans we made
i'm marking x's through all the pictures and letters i saved

you took me for granted
i am not sure i felt it
lost me in the madness
we are not saints
give me a reason
sounding off back and forth
and i'll be giving you a reason to stay

i'll be giving you a reason
i'll be giving you a lie

obscurity stole the light
i had visions of the way you would hold on tight

you took me for granted
i am not sure i felt it
lost me in the madness
we are not saints
give me a reason
sounding off back and forth
and i'll be giving you a reason to stay
giving you a reason
giving you a lie
