GI've found a reason for Emme
To change who I used to Cbe
A reason to start over nDew
and the reason is yoGu

GI'm sorry that I hurt yEmou
It's something I must live with every Gday
And all the pain I put you thrEmough
I wish that I could take it all awaCy
And be the one who catches all your Amtears
DThat's why I need you to hGear

And so I have to say before I Amgo

To change who I used to Cbe
A reason to start over nDew

GI've found a reason to sEmhow
A side of me you didn't Cknow
A reason for all that I Ddo
And the reason is yoGu
