The Reasons Why by The Cure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[Pre-Chorus]
I am writing you a letter
Getting better. Can I see you when
All the lights go out together?
Blame the weather, yeah, the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
And I'm falling through the stars
(You remember now?)
Yeah, I'm falling in their arms
(You remember how?)
Oh, I'm falling through the sky
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember the kiss?)
[Verse 2]
I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[Pre-Chorus]
I am calling you at midnight
Feeling all right. Can I tell you when?
On the line, no sound but my words
Must be night birds on the wire again
In the silence for a second
I am sure I hear them laughing then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
And I'm falling through the stars
(You remember now?)
Yeah, I'm falling in their arms
(You remember how?)
Oh, I'm falling through the sky
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember the kiss?)
[Bridge]
"We know," they said
"You're holding on
To nothing left of something gone"
"We know," they said
"In letting go
Of fear and dread
And all you know
You'll lose the need of certainty
And make-believe eternity
To find the true reality
In beautiful infinity" Yeah
[Outro]
But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[Pre-Chorus]
I am writing you a letter
Getting better. Can I see you when
All the lights go out together?
Blame the weather, yeah, the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
And I'm falling through the stars
(You remember now?)
Yeah, I'm falling in their arms
(You remember how?)
Oh, I'm falling through the sky
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember the kiss?)
[Verse 2]
I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
[Pre-Chorus]

Feeling all right. Can I tell you when?
On the line, no sound but my words
Must be night birds on the wire again

Yeah, they are calling me
[Chorus]
And I'm falling through the stars

Oh, I'm falling through the sky
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember the kiss?)
