I'm not a perfect person,

There's many things I wish I didnt do,

But I continue learning,

I never meant to do those things to you.


And so I have to say before I go,

That I just want you to know,

I've found a reason for me,

To change who I used to be,

A reason to start over new,

And the reason is you.


I'm sorry that I hurt you,

It's something I must live with every day,

And all the pain I put you through,

I wish that I could take it all away,

And be the one that catches all your tears.


Thats why I need you to hear,

I've found a reason for me,

To change who I used to be,

A reason to start over new,

And the reason is you,

And the reason is you,

And the reason is you,

And the reason is you.


I'm not a perfect person,

I never meant to do those things to you,

And so I have to say before I go,

That I just want you to know,

I've found a reason for me,

To change who I used to be,

A reason to start over new,

And the reason is you.


I've found a reason to show,

A side of me you didn't know,

A reason for all that I do,

And the reason is you.
