The Reason Why by Marque

Lyrics written by Mary Applegate, Jon Kelly & Marque

I’m trying to find the words
And write them in a letter
Maybe all the pain
Will go away

I have so many questions
Living in my head
Wanna put them to a man
I never met

Why did you turn and walk away
I’m part of you why couldn’t you stay
Now I’m a man who needs to find
The way I am – the reason why

Do I have your eyes?
Now, do we look the same?
Do you wonder how I’m dealing
With all the shame?
Oh no, no, no, no

Why did you turn and walk away
I’m part of you why couldn’t you stay
Now I’m the man who needs to find
The way I am – the reason why

I’m searching for the lines
To put them in a letter
The answers to my hurt
The reason why

Now I’m the man who needs to find
The way I am – the reason why

Why did you turn and walk away
I’m part of you why didn’t you stay
Now I’m the man who needs to find
The way I am – the reason why
