The Reason

The Reason
by Hoobastank

i'm not a perfect person
there are 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,
its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through,
i wish that i could take it all away

and be the one who catches all your tears,
thats why i need you to hear

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 didnt know
a reason for all that i do,
and the reason is you

This is one song I instantly liked the first time I heard it. It was more of the beat I liked more than anything else. So when i finally got hold of the lyrics and was singing it, my brother (smart aleck that he is!) suddenly asks, with a tinge of teasing, "why do you like that song so much? siguro may significance sa yo noh?"
Nye. Hello?! Reading through the lyrics, no, I didn't think I needed to say these to anyone in particular. No one came to mind. But then I did think of someone who I would "like" to actually sing this to me. HA! i wish... (back to wishful thinking)... ;->
