about

This is our first radio edit and I love how it changes the impact of the track - to me it sounds much more punchy and concise as a song and I love the energy behind it. It's really good to know that sometimes less is more with song structure as we move forwards with recording more tracks.

lyrics

Maybe it's because I was born under bad stars
Maybe that's why I've been running all my life so far

There ain't no reason baby
There ain't no rhyme
There ain't no reason why
We've been fighting all the time

Maybe x5 it just wasn't meant to be
Or maybe I'm just a fool
Who believes in fate and destiny
(Because you made me)

There ain't no reason baby
There ain't no rhyme
There ain't no reason why
We've been fighting all the time

Maybe it's because you never trusted me
And never ever ever let me in
Or maybe our hearts were already broken
From all the pain and the hurting

There ain't no reason baby
There ain't no rhyme
There ain't no reason why
We've been fighting all the time
