I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning
c
I never meant to do those things to you
AM
And so I have to say before I go
D G
That I just want you to know
G EM
I've found a reason for me
c
To change who I used to be
D
A reason to start over new
G
and the reason is you
