No Reason

THERE'S NO REASON IN MY LIFE
EXCEPT THE BEAT OF DESPAIR
SINCE YOU WALKED AWAY FROM ME BABY
DOWN THOSE LONG AND LONELY STAIRS
ONE FOOT'S IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY OR WHERE
ONCE I HAD SOME PURPOSE
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT DESPAIR

THE ALARM GOES OFF IN THE MORNING
BUT IT STAYS SO DARK INSIDE MY HEAD
THAT THERE'S NO REASON TO GET EXCITED
THERE'S NO REASON TO GET OUT OF BED
THEY SAY THE DAY WAITS FOR YOU
TO GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT
BUT UNDER THESE COLD COVERS
MY LONELY HEART STILL BURNS

BRIDGE:
OH I GOT NO RHYTHM IN MY LIFE DARLING
NO REASON TO LIVE AT ALL
I'VE GOT NO PLACE TO GO
I SIT HERE WAITING FOR YOUR CALL

I CAN'T TASTE THIS CUP OF COFFEE
SITTING IN YOUR EMPTY CHAIR
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TO GET DRESSED
WHEN YOU WON'T SEE WHAT I WEAR
WHY GO FORWARD, CAN'T GO BACK
CAN'T EVEN SAY A PRAYER
ONCE I HAD SOME PURPOSE
NOW I'VE GOT NOTHING BUT DESPAIR
