I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't 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 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
That's 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
I like this song, it's really pretty. It's definitely my favourite track from the album, I don't really like the rest of the tracks. I haven't seen the video yet, hope it's good.
See, the lead singer WAS going to help them steal the ruby/gem..whatever it was. But then he hit the girl and thats The Reason he didnt do it, he changed, and he thinks he hurt her by hitting her with the car.
Thanks for the explanation Ash...I didn't understand the vid with the lyrics. I thought they had it all staged with him hitting the girl like she was supposed to get hit hard. Meh.
this is prob. one of my fav. songs right now. its a nice song, it touchedme when i first heard it. i mean, yeah people mess up in relationships and a lot of times, u really never meant to hurt them , but they dont know that, but with this song i mean the words hit u where it hurts, "i found a reason for me, to change who i used to be, a reason to start over now, and the reason is u." its nice becase the reason to change is the person that u love with all your heart. thats a good enough reason for me
Great song! i love it it makes me happy. itsone of those songs that get stuck in ur head even when u jsut see the name, but u dont care. hoobastank hads gotten much better, their last cd sounded all the same but this ones great. good job hoobastank
I played this song with my guitar and sang it to a girl who dumped me (his voice isn't really hard to immatate) and we're back together now. I was an asshole to her but it's all good now and thats just one reason I'm in love with this song.
ya this song is really great .
it completely applies to a relationship i had with a girl that i still love and i wish i could be with but i hurt her and she left me. The video is a lil weird but after that explanation^ it makes more sense
