The Reason

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

I can’t claim to be a big Hoobastank fan. Or even a Hoobastank fan at all. But recently one of the best shows on television, WE ARE LADY PARTS, released their second season and this song plays an important role in the season. Incidentally, if you aren’t watching WE ARE LADY PARTS, you are watching television wrong. Just flat out wrong.

If you don’t know what it is about, here is the premise taken from the Wiki:

An all-female Muslim punk band in the UK takes inspiration from London’s rich and diverse collection of cultures. Friendships, relationships and cultural differences are navigated as the band seeks musical success.

That just barely scratching the surface. Not only is the show brilliantly written, funny, and tugs at the heartstrings, the music is top notch. “Voldemort Under My Head Scarf” and “Bashir With The Good Beard” and “Glass Ceiling Feeling” are Christopher D. Bennett Certified Bangers. (CDBCB for short.)

I’ve been thinking of getting a Lady Parts shirt, but not sure how many people would get it or think it is appropriate. But I’ve been assured by at least one lady that I can pull it off. I guess I don’t know how much it matters what other people think as I am pretty far into my personal villain era and no point turning back now.

But Thursdays are for flowers. This flowertography session was held in my yard last September:
