Girl don't look at me that way for the things I must do
For it's not that I love you less there's just nothing left to do
But understand my reasons that I ask to be set free

For it's my fault not hers that loves sweet dawn has turned to night
It was good between us once so it's up to me to try
And hope little reasons can save old love's life
Little reasons that say
