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'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 to show A side of me you didn't know A reason for all that I do And the reason is you

Behind the Song:
'This song was huge a few years back. Obviously we didn’t write it. I didn’t listen to a ton of mainstream music, but when I heard this one, the lyrics really got my attention. I realized it was a love song, but I thought to myself how easy it is to direct a love song in whatever direction you choose. All the guys agreed, but we put the idea on the backburner for a long while. When it came time to cut our record, we all talked about the idea again and decided to include it.' - Shane Bowers (Julian Drive)
