maybe it's just how my life is structured to be, but it seems that i realize the critical facts after they were necessary. at the pivotal moment, i blank out and act rashly, later pondering and questioning my actions. why is it that the most important things are gained through failure after failure? and why must we fail to begin with? so we can appreciate what we have yearned for, once it is in our hands?
"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 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 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 found a reason for me
to change who i used to be,
a reason to start over new;
and the reason is you.
i 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."
hoobastank, the reason
(if you're not familiar with them, you should start to. they are very good.)
