Reasons Why
Unseen Struggles: Jordan Centers' Reasons Why
Lyrics
I guess you think I'm out here doin' just fine
I appear to be doing well in your perception.
Drinkin' and smokin' on something every night
Engaging in drinking and smoking regularly.
Well that may or may not be true
Uncertain if that perception is accurate.
The truth is I'm drinkin' about you
I'm actually drinking to cope with thoughts of you.
And you don't see how hard it is gettin' by
You underestimate the difficulty of my situation.
When I'm sittin' at a bar and our song comes on loud
Our shared song plays loudly at the bar.
I pour another shot just to drown it out
I take another shot to drown out the memories.
But you don't see me during those times
You're unaware of my struggles during these moments.
You think I'm out just being wild
Your perception is that I'm living recklessly.
I gotta do somethin' to keep you off my mind
I engage in activities to distract myself from you.
But you don't see that you are all the Reasons Why
You are the reason behind my actions and emotions.
Sure I'll admit I'm out of my head this time
I acknowledge I'm emotionally overwhelmed.
Talkin' to my reflection and askin' the same questions why
Self-reflecting and questioning my situation repeatedly.
I'm tired of kickin' back in this little town
Frustrated with the limited opportunities in this town.
Girl you know how them rumors get around
Aware of the spreading rumors about me.
But you don't see how hard it is goin' out
You don't grasp the challenges I face when going out.
I'll be sittin' at a bar and our song comes on loud
Similar to line 7, repeating the experience at the bar.
I pour another shot just to drown it out
Continuing to use alcohol to cope with emotions.
But you don't see me during those times
Your lack of awareness during these moments persists.
You think I'm out just being wild
Your perception remains focused on my wild behavior.
I gotta do somethin' to keep you off my mind
I engage in distractions to keep you off my mind.
But you don't see that you are all the Reasons Why
Your influence is the primary cause of my actions.
You don't see that you were all the Reasons Why
Reiterating that you are the root cause of my struggles.
