The Reason Lyrics

[00:14.26] I'm not a perfect person
[00:19.87] There's many things I wish I didn't do
[00:25.65] But I continue learning
[00:31.46] I never meant to do those things to you
[00:37.20] And so, I have to say before I go
[00:43.67] That I just want you to know
[00:48.73] I've found a reason for me
[00:54.50] To change who I used to be
[01:00.47] A reason to start over new
[01:07.05] And the reason is you
[01:12.12] I'm sorry that I hurt you
[01:17.60] It's something I must live with everyday
[01:23.45] And all the pain I put you through
[01:29.41] I wish that I could take it all away
[01:35.07] And be the one who catches all your tears
[01:41.51] That's why I need you to hear
[01:46.66] I've found a reason for me
[01:52.48] To change who I used to be
[01:58.39] A reason to start over new
[02:05.07] And the reason is you
[02:10.80] And the reason is you
[02:16.64] And the reason is you
[02:22.42] And the reason is you
[02:29.27]
[02:33.01] I'm not a perfect person
[02:38.88] I never meant to do those things to you
[02:44.50] And so I have to say before I go
[02:51.05] That I just want you to know
[02:56.05] I've found a reason for me
[03:01.85] To change who I used to be
[03:07.75] A reason to start over new
[03:14.38] And the reason is you
[03:19.52] I've found a reason to show
[03:25.02] A side of me you didn't know
[03:30.93] A reason for all that I do
[03:37.58] And the reason is you
[03:41.53]
