16 Reasons to Love - Nikolai

I've been driving around here in this town Know it like the back of my hand I've been dreaming of ways, ways to get out Put myself in a box that I'd never be Someone I'm proud of you see Here I am on this bridge facing defeat I'm just doing the best I can I'm just living in the life I have I'm confused but I'm fine with that The beauty will outweigh the pain From the chill of the autumn wind And the laugh of your sister's kid To the first snow when it sets in The beauty will outweigh the pain We'll all find a purpose one day There's so many reasons to stay No, I don't wanna die, just don't wanna live Why can't I reach out for help You would do anything to get me through this I'm so used to alone, don't know what it's like To let someone into my mind But I'd do anything just to survive I'm just doing the best I can I'm just living in the life I have I'm confused but I'm fine with that The beauty will outweigh the pain From the chill of the autumn wind And the laugh of your sister's kid To the first snow when it sets in The beauty will outweigh the pain We'll all find a purpose one day There's so many reasons to stay I'm just doing the best I can I'm just living in the life I have I'm confused but I'm fine with that The beauty will outweigh the pain We'll all find a purpose one day We all have a reason to stay

I was standing in the rain I had nowhere to go Nothing remained Just a stranger in these clothes The joke of the party Drinking all alone With no one beside me The only place I've ever known Don't say I'm gonna stay this way I hit rock bottom with nothing left to give All love forgotten, finding reasons to live You picked me up when I was down on the floor You showed me how to love myself a little more I'm scared to go to sleep Demons watching over me How am I supposеd to breathe? When I feel this fucking wеak You are the medicine to get me by You are the therapy to ease my mind When I fall, you catch me every time When I'm falling, you come calling Don't say I'm gonna stay this way I hit rock bottom with nothing left to give All love forgotten, finding reasons to live You picked me up when I was down on the floor You showed me how to love myself a little more Reasons to live, reasons to live, reasons to live, reasons to live Don't say I'm gonna stay this way Don't say I'm gonna stay this way I hit rock bottom with nothing left to give All love forgotten, finding reasons to live You picked me up when I was down on the floor You showed me how to love myself a little more You are the medicine to get me by You are the therapy to ease my mind When I fall, you catch me every time When I'm falling, reasons to live

Reasons to quit, smoke and booze don't do me like before And I'm hardly ever sober And my old friends don't come around much anymore Reasons to quit, the low is always lower than the high And the reasons to quit don't outnumber all the reasons why So we keep smoking and we keep drinking Having fun and never thinkin' Laughin' at the price tag that we paid And we keep roaring down the fast lane Like two young men feelin' no pain And the reasons for quittin' is getting bigger each day Reasons to quit, I can't afford the habit all the time I need to be sober, I need to write some new songs that will rhyme Reasons to quit, they have no rhyme or reason when you're high And the reasons to quit don't outnumber all the reasons why And we keep smoking and we keep drinking Having fun and never thinkin' And laughin' at the price tag that we paid And we keep roarin' down the fast lane Like two young men feeling no pain And the reason for quittin' is getting bigger each day And the reason for quittin' is getting bigger each day

I'm a ghost in my own home lately I'm a ghost and I'm lonely, baby Come back now, it was funny at first But now it just hurts I'm a shell of my old self lately Sent to hell by the one who saved me Let you in, said to have faith Told me it was safe to Show you all I am Every single secret, told me you would keep it but you can't Thought they were reasons to love me Not just reasons to leave Showed you the good and the ugly And everything in between When you ask for more, I'm on the floor I'm at your feet Thought I was giving you reasons to love me Not just reasons to leave In the world that I built around you Every room is a lost and found You left so much that only we had And didn't look back Your makeup buried in the drawer A T-shirt laying on the floor A note you wrote two weeks before you left You said to show you all I am Every single secret, told me you would keep it but you can't Thought they were reasons to love me Not just reasons to leave Showed you the good and the ugly And everything in between When you ask for more, I'm on the floor I'm at your feet Thought I was giving you reasons to love me Not just reasons to leave, oh Thought they were reasons to love, to love, to love me, not to leave Thought they were reasons to love, to love, to love me, not to leave Thought they were reasons to love, to love, to love me, not to leave Thought I was giving you reasons to love me Not just reasons to leave
