Intro:

Verse 1:

I’m not a perfect person

There are many things I wish I didn’t do

ut I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

and so I have to say before I go

E2
that I just want you to know

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 2:

I’m sorry that I hurt you

It’s 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

E2
thats why I need you to hear

Chorus 2:

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

I’m not a perfect person

a side of me you didn’t know

a reason for all that I do

and the reason is you
