Fly Lyrics: Tank's "I'm the Reason Why"

“It’s all my fault.”

Let’s face it. When a relationship falls apart, that’s not a phrase that is said very much. Oftentimes, it’s easier to blame the other person for the love growing cold. R&B singer Tank took a different approach though, and sincerely expressed where he went wrong on “The Reason Why,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Feature.

The Lyrics

Many nights I wondered why
You was just something in my life
Many days I stayed at home
Tired of life just need to be alone

I can’t see life without you and me
I can’t see or be anything else
You’re long gone when I need you here
And I can’t blame nobody but myself

So I’m the reason why we apart
I’m the reason why you won’t stay
I’m the cause of these broken hearts
I’m the reason why love I know is leaving my life

Many night I followed you
Just to see if you were telling the truth
Many days I questioned you
I just didn’t trust what you said you’ll do

I can’t see life without you and me
I can’t see or be anything else (oh yes)
You’re long gone when I need you here
And I can’t blame nobody but myself

So I’m the reason why we apart
I’m the reason why you won’t stay
I’m the cause of these broken hearts
I’m the reason why love I know is leaving my life

So I’m the reason why we apart
I’m the reason why you won’t stay (ohhh)
I’m the cause of these broken hearts
I’m the reason why
