You Are The Reason

Calum Scott English

Verse 1

There goes my heart beating'Cause you are the reasonI'm losing my sleepPlease come back nowAnd there goes my mind racingAnd you are the reasonThat I'm still breathingI'm hopeless now

Chorus

I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've brokenOh, 'cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason

Verse 2

There goes my hands shakingAnd you are the reasonMy heart keeps bleedingI need you nowIf I could turn back the clockI'd make sure the light defeated the darkI'd spend every hour of every dayKeeping you safe

Chorus

I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've brokenOh, 'cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason

Bridge

I don't want to fight no moreI don't want to hide no moreI don't want to cry no moreCome back, I need you to hold me(You are the reason)A little closer now, just a little closer nowCome a little closer, I need you to hold me tonight

Chorus

I'd climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I've broken'Cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason
