The Reason
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
That′s 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
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'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 part of me you didn't know




A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Reason by Sabrina are an honest reflection of regret and the desire to change for the better. The opening line, "I'm not a perfect person," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer recognizes their flaws and the mistakes they've made, admitting that there are many things they wish they could undo. However, they choose to focus on the positive by stating that they are continuing to learn and grow.


The chorus reveals that the singer has found a reason to change - the person they are addressing in the song. They want to start over and be a better version of themselves for that person, acknowledging the pain they've caused and expressing a desire to make it right. The repetition of "And the reason is you" emphasizes the importance of this person in the singer's life and their motivation for change.


In the second verse, the singer apologizes for the hurt they've caused and wishes they could take it all away. They want to be there for the person in any way possible, including being a shoulder to cry on. The second chorus adds a new dimension to the idea of finding a reason to change - not only is it for the person they love, but it also reveals a part of the singer that was previously unknown.
