Love Is the Reason lyrics

I was walking down the street

Dragging my feet

Feeling so alone in this summer heat

'Cause without you, baby, just a matter of time

Before I lose control, before I lose my mind

Remember when we walked hand in hand?

The stars in the sky were shining then

You told me you would take me to the promised land

You told me that forever I would be your man

I guess some things, baby, aren't meant to be

We found the love, but we lost the key

As I hold you in my arms, it wasn't true

When you told me, baby, "I love you"

I've cried a thousand times

And now my heart is blind

Love is the reason

I've read between the lines

And now I realize

Love is the reason

Girl, I'm a man with a broken heart

Just give me a chance to make another start

When I look at the people that are so in love

It's you and me that I'm dreaming of

Another lonely night I called you on the phone

The message that you left me said you're not at home 

I left you a kiss on your answering machine

Just to let you know just what I mean

Remember when you used to whisper in my ear

That you loved me so? Your eyes were full of tears

Touching you was like a dream come true

Lying in my bed with only you

I've cried a thousand times

And now my heart is blind

Love is the reason

I've read between the lines

And now I realize

Love is the reason  

I've cried a thousand times

And now my heart is blind

Love is the reason

(Without you, baby, just a matter of time)

(Before I lose control, before I lose my mind) 

I've read between the lines

And now I realize

Love is the reason  

(You told me you would take me to the promised land)

(You told me that forever I would be your man)  

I've cried a thousand times

And now my heart is blind

Love is the reason

(I hold you in my arms, it wasn't true)

(When you told me, baby, "I love you")  

I've read between the lines

And now I realize

Love is the reason  

(Without you, baby, just a matter of time)

(Before I lose control, before I lose my mind)   

I've cried a thousand times

And now my heart is blind

Love is the reason 

(You told me you would take me to the promised land)

(You told me that forever I would be your man)  

I've read between the lines
