Hollies - If It Wasn’t For The Reason That I Love You CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: F G (6x) Another day gone and I think of you Wonder where you’re going wonder what you do without me A telephone call from a friend I know Left me feeling bitter left me feeling so unhappy PRE-CHORUS: ’Cause if you couldn’t wait for twenty four hours What good would telegrams and flowers do?

À propos de la chanson

Dans cette chanson, l'artiste parle d'un amour troublé qui laisse des sentiments de tristesse et de solitude. Il évoque des pensées sur son partenaire, se demandant ce qu'il devient sans lui. Malgré la douleur de la trahison et des mensonges, il admet que cet amour est la seule raison qui lui donne encore envie de communiquer, même s'il se sent amer et malheureux. Le contexte montre une lutte intérieure : une personne qui essaie de faire face à la réalité de la séparation et des souvenirs d'un bonheur passé. Dans des moments de solitude, il se tourne vers des amis et l'alcool pour oublier ses problèmes, cherchant une échappatoire, tout en sachant que l'amour qu'il ressent est ce qui le retient encore.
