you only live once

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,

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.
