Lyrics
REASONS (Written by Julie Foai)
Almost don’t remember
What she looked like now
So many years, too many tears
And things I didn’t know how to say
She was afraid I know
But it was hard for me to forgive In her will to survive
It was hard for others who were in her way
Sometimes she'd break down and cry
I could never understand why
But she had her reasons
And though they made her seem a fool to me.
She had her reasons
Poetry and pottery
And writing children’s tales
Brought out the best and left the rest
The things I’d rather didn’t stay
The joy I still remember
The fun and crazy times
Clouded though I must confess
By things I keep locked far away
Sometimes she'd break down and cry
I could never understand why
But she had her reasons
she had her reasons
Though they made her seem a fool to me
She had her reasons
I’d catch her when she was alone
Watch her while she’s on the phone
There’d be a strange look in her eye
Like maybe things weren’t right
She had her reasons
She had her reasons
And though they made her seem a fool to me.
She had her reasons
Almost don’t remember
What she looked like now
So many years, too many tears
And things I didn’t know how to say
