The Routine - Another Reason To Try Lyrics

Verse 1

I can still see that look in your eyes
Like a montage imagining my whole life
Then suddenly, you're gone

I remember the way that you laughed
And the way that your nose wrinkled back
And I know no one knew you better than that

Verse 2

You packed up that Volvo and
I still can't get over the fact that you left,
That you left so fast
But then I was blessed with the promise
From the Damsel in Distress
But something is wrong when I have to tell her this…

Chorus

I can't even write you a love song
I can't even hold you in my arms
When the one that got away
Is still the one that got away

This whole damn time I've been
Falling apart. If you look in my eyes
You'll see I can't find another reason to try

Bridge

You painted me a picture on your front porch and
I still have those polaroids you mailed me
Close to 10 years ago and
I won't let myself forget you

Chorus

So I wrote you a love song
So maybe I could hold you in my arms
So the one that got away
Would be the one that's here to stay

This whole damn time I've been
Falling apart. If you look in my eyes
You'll see I have every other reason to try
