My Reason
Linkin Park Lyrics

I live a life that's sheltered
I am living a life that is very isolated and closed off from the rest of the world.

I'm constantly alone
I spend much of my time by myself with nobody to talk to or connect with.

I'm pointing out my weakness
I am recognizing and highlighting the areas in my life where I struggle and feel vulnerable.

There's an emptiness at home
I feel a sense of loneliness and sadness in my own living space, which should be a source of comfort.

I need to find a reason
I am searching for a purpose or motivation that can help me make sense of my life and give it meaning.

To live this way
To continue existing in the state of isolation, loneliness, and vulnerability that I am currently experiencing.

I'm running out of patience
I am feeling increasingly frustrated and restless with my current situation and am eager for a change.

And my life is over
I feel like my life has become stagnant and pointless, and I am desperate for something to give it purpose.

I'm standing here
I am present in the physical sense, but I am not actively engaged or fulfilled.

But I'm on my way
I am in the process of searching for answers and trying to make positive changes in my life.

Searching to find an answer
I am actively seeking a solution or explanation that will help me better understand myself and the world around me.

And it's all the same
Despite my efforts to find something new and different, I feel like my life remains stagnant and unchanging.

I've obtained my reason
I have finally discovered a source of motivation or purpose that I was previously lacking.

For you
This newfound purpose revolves around someone else, likely a significant other or loved one.

But you left me
Despite finding this motivation, the person who inspired it has abandoned me, leaving me feeling alone and helpless once again.

And I'm all alone
Without the person who gave my life meaning, I feel like I am back at square one, facing my challenges alone and without direction.

I've been stripped of my innocence
The challenges of life have left me feeling disillusioned and jaded, and I can no longer see the world with the same naivete I once had.

I take pity in myself
I feel sorry for myself and my circumstances and struggle to find hope or motivation to keep going.

A certain chain of events
A series of negative experiences or circumstances have led to my current state of sadness and isolation.

That have left me in this hell
I feel trapped and helpless in my current situation and don't know how to escape it.

Well I'm searching
I am still actively seeking a reason or motivation to keep going and to find fulfillment in my life.

To find my reason
To discover the thing or person that can give me a sense of purpose and direction in life.

Why I need you
The person who once gave my life meaning is still on my mind and is the primary source of my search for purpose.

But I need to get away from you
Despite my continued feelings for this person, I recognize that I need to move on and find my own path.

And I will take my reason from you
I will take the inspiration and motivation that I gained from this person and use it to create my own meaning and purpose.

And I needed someone to love me
I craved love and attention from others as a source of validation and self-worth.

But you just left me here and I'm lonely
The person who once gave me this love and validation has abandoned me, leaving me feeling alone and isolated once again.

You know I needed someone to love me
The search for love and validation is a central part of my struggle and quest for meaning.

But I'm all alone
Despite my yearning for love and connection, I still feel ultimately alone and cut off from others, which compounds my sense of isolation and despair.
