The Reason

I was listening to this song last night over and over again as we were cruising the empty streets of KL - it had a profound effect on me. I've never even heard of the Hoobastank until someone at work pointed them out to me. Now, I'm listening to the lyrics and it's most moving. It got me thinking that this song is apt for my faith in Him, or rather my path back to His side. Usually I don't get all emotional over songs lyrics, but this song hit a cord within me. I guess you can't really get the effect until you hear it when you're in a certain mood, and I was melancholy last night. To each to his own (interpretation).


The Reason - Hoobastank

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
Thats 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 [x4]

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
