You're the Reason
Alone, Bliss, and No Regrets: Decoding Augie Bello's 'You're the Reason'
Lyrics
There are times
Expressing the existence of specific moments
Where you need someone to hold on to
Desire for emotional support or companionship
Sit around
Reflecting on being alone
Wonder why no one is next to me
Questioning the absence of someone next to the speaker
You're the reason that I got no one
Attributing the speaker's lack of companionship to a specific person
You're the reason that I'm all alone
Reiterating that the person mentioned is the cause of the speaker's solitude
You're the reason that my Friday's at home
Connecting the person to the speaker's lonely Fridays at home
You're the reason that I'm all alone
Emphasizing the impact of the person on the speaker's loneliness
And if you think that I'm jealous
Addressing the accusation of jealousy
Look at you and tell me who's jealous
Challenging the other person's claim of jealousy
Without you I have total bliss
Stating that the speaker experiences happiness without the mentioned person
So baby don't come back to me
Asserting the speaker's independence and advising the person not to return
There are times
Repetition of the idea that there are times when one doesn't need support
Where you need no one to hold on to
Reiteration of the desire for independence
Back off
Instructing someone to stay away
Don't come around here anymore
Declaring the end of a relationship
Cause if you wanted to to be over
Questioning the sincerity of ending the relationship
Then why are you back at my door
Wondering why the person is returning
Cause you're the reason that I got no one
Reiterating that the person is the cause of the speaker's solitude
But I don't really fucking need no one
Expressing self-sufficiency and not needing anyone
And if you think that I'm jealous
Revisiting the theme of jealousy
Look at you and tell me who's jealous
Challenging the idea of the speaker being jealous
Without you I have total bliss
Highlighting contentment without the mentioned person
So baby don't come back to me
Repeating the advice not to return
And if you think that I'm jealous
Reiterating the theme of jealousy
Look at you and tell me who's jealous
Challenging the other person's perception of jealousy
Without you I have total bliss
Emphasizing the speaker's happiness in the absence of the person
So baby don't come back to me
Final reinforcement of the advice not to return
