The Reasons Why

I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why

I am writing you a letter
Getting better...
Can I see you
When...
All the lights go out together
Blame the weather
Yeah the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah they are calling me...

And I am falling through the stars
You remember now
Yeah I am falling in their arms
You remember how
Oh I am falling through the skies
You remember this
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss

I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why

I am calling you at midnight
Feeling alright... can I tell you
When
On the line no sound but my words
Must be night birds on the wire again
In the silence for a second
I am sure I hear them laughing then
I feel them calling me
Yeah they are calling me...

And I am falling through the stars
You remember now
Yeah I am falling in their arms
You remember how
Oh I am falling through the skies
You remember this
I am falling in their eyes
You remember our kiss

"We know"
They said
"You're holding on
To nothing left of something gone... "

"We know"
They said
"In letting go
Of fear and dread
And all you know
You'll lose the need of certainty
And make-believe eternity
To find the true reality
In beautiful infinity... "

But I wont try to bring you down about my suicide
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
