This Is Why

You got my attention, then you stomped it out
You're there, and then you're gone
What's that all about?
You came on so strong then you backed it off
Where did you get the nerve to call it love?

You're part of my past now
I'm making you history
Don't act surprised now
Don't say you didn't see it coming

So if you're wondering why I'm leaving
Stop a second and count the reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
That's the reason and this is why

There's no way for you to stop the bleeding
You don't get it
I ain't got my reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
Thats the reason and this is why

You got my affection, then you threw it out
I'm right, and then I'm wrong
All you got is doubt

You're part of my past now
Nothing but a memory
I sent you to the lost and found
Don't say you didn't see it coming

So if you're wondering why I'm leaving
Stop a second and count the reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
That's the reason and this is why

There's no way for you to stop the bleeding
You don't get it
I ain't got my reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
That's the reason and this is why

Am I right? Am I wrong?
When you're there, and your gone?
It's the truth, it might hurt
But think back
Was it worth

All the pain and misery
Of living it up while I'm dying?
The one regret that I can see is
How I let you get to me

So if you wondering why I'm leaving
Stop a second and count the reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
That's the reason, and this is why

There's no way for you to stop the bleeding
You don't get it
I ain't got my reasons
You don't listen, don't care, don't try
That's the reason and this is why
This is why
