Sam Draper - The Only Reason Lyrics

Darling, come out tonight
The stars won't wait forever
I want to show you the trees
Bend backwards and break for me

This part of town has been keeping
Secrets from you
Tonight they'll concede your worth
And let you in

The cellist I always wanted to meet
Died in France of a rare disease
Her last request, a bird to fly north
Was shot a mile from shore

You looked a f*cking mess that night
But I looked worse
Collapse in the leaves and
Shed your clothes for me

I can be the martyr
And you can be the cause
If only for now
The now is more than enough

The only reason I haven't read your diary
Is because I know that you don't keep one
