The Reason I Care

from The Lights of Te Atatu by Dominic Blaazer

/

lyrics

Ain’t no sentiment describes how I feel
Maybe no word for it but it’s so real
I bear witness I bear the scars
Offered you everything took only my heart

Everybody has a right to love someday
Nobody’s business to stand in their way

That’s the reason I care for every woman out there
Who looked in your eyes and fell in love with you.
For every heart that you held in your hand
You made a desolate place without a promised land.

Another lover same old scene
They’ll get lonely and desperate or somewhere between
Smart money says, take the smooth with the rough
Then you realise your best is never enough

That’s the reason I care for every woman out there
Who looked in your eyes and fell in love with you.
For every heart that you held in your hand
You made a desolate place without a promised land.

Like a raindrop no-one can hold you
Like a sunset leaving a loving glow
Another home-bake Casanova
Your heart's a desert where no love can grow

Just because you can doesn’t mean you have to.
Every time you feel you win there’s always going to be another loser
But as you always said, “c’est la vie.”

That’s the reason I care for every woman out there
Who looked in your eyes and fell in love with you.
For every heart that you held in your hand
You made a desolate place without a promised land.
