Should you let the chance slip to see it crack 
As it hits the floor? 
You can't hold on to it and hang on to what you 
Had before 
Decisions hang in the air you leave them swinging 
Back and forth 

One thousand reasons to stay 
One thousand reasons to go away 
One thousand reasons to hold on to what you have got in 
this life anyway 

I push for what I really want so it moves 
Away from me 
It's like you've set your heart on ice and set a date 
When you'll melt it free
Everything you really feel will remain 
A mystery 

One thousand reasons to stay 
One thousand reasons to go away 
One thousand reasons to hold on to what you have got in 
this life anyway 
anyway

One thousand reasons to stay 
One thousand reasons to go away, go away 
One thousand reasons to hold on to what you have got in 
this life anyway
