  “The Reason” by Hoobastank

  i’m not a perfect person. there’s many things i wish i didnt 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, its 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

  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 didnt know

  a reason for all that i do, and the reason is you

  okay, I admit it, I’m a huge fan of this song.  I’m actually
  going to buy the whole album one of these days just for it. The lyrics itself is
  good power ballad stuff, but it’s the way it’s sang is what’s killer.

  Another song that I’ve been obsessed with lately also is Robbie
  Williams’ “Angels.”  It’s a song that I loved several years ago,
  but now Jessica Simpson brought it back by covering it for her latest
  single (damnit girl, sing
  your own songs!).  Once again, just like “The Reason” it’s got
  good lyrics for a ballad, but it’s the way Robbie Williams sings it that
  makes it great.

  “Angels” by Robbie Williams

  I sit and wait, Does an angel contemplate my fate

  And do they know, The places where we go, When we’re grey and old

  ‘Cos I’ve been told, That salvation lets their wings unfold
  So when I’m lying in my bed, Thoughts running through my head

  And I feel that love is dead, I’m loving angels instead

  And through it all she offers me protection, A lot of love and affection

  Whether I’m right or wrong

  And down the waterfall, Wherever it will take me

  I know that life won’t break me, When I come to call
  she won’t forsake me, I’m loving angels instead

  When I’m feeling weak, And my pain walks down a one way street

  I look above, And I know I will always be blessed with love

  And as the feeling grows, She breathes flesh to my bones

  And when love is dead, I’m loving angels instead

  And through it all she offers me protection, A lot of love and affection

  Whether I’m right or wrong

  And down the waterfall, Wherever it will take me

  I know that life won’t break me, When I come to call

  she won’t forsake me, I’m loving angels instead
