You're giving me a million reasons to let you go

You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show

You're givin' me a million reasons

Give me a million reasons

Givin' me a million reasons

About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills

If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still

But you're giving me a million reasons

Give me a million reasons

Givin' me a million reasons

About a million reasons

I bow down to pray

I try to make the worse seem better

Lord, show me the way

To cut through all his worn out leather

I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away


It was a beautiful day, as Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other in an alleyway.

"Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?" he needed to know.

"No. Of course, you're not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You've given me a second chance now, when no one else will." She rested a hand on the side of his face. "I love you. Elijah." He turned his face away and she put her hand down. "You don't believe me," she realized.

"I want to," he replied, looking at her. "It's my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don't know you. I don't think I ever will."

She watched, as he walked away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm.

"Wait."

He looked at her hand and then her a couple times.

She got the hint and let go.

"Goodbye, Katherine."

She could only watch, as he left, knowing that she'd lost his trust in her.

But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare

It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware

'Cause you've given me a million reasons

Give me a million reasons

Giving me a million reasons

About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean

It's hard to fathom which parts I should believe

'Cause you've given me a million reasons

Give me a million reasons

Givin' me a million reasons
