love is the reason

where can i start

where do i begin?

i feel the need to explain

i'll be the first to say life is good

but first let me tell you my pain

i've been around the world

searching for love

and right before i came to my end

i can remember. you came and knocked at my door

with words i heard once before

just who you are is still unclear

knowing one day you will leave

to my surprise and relief

love was the reason you came here

this song i sing is no fairy tale

it's full of truth and it's real

i've made bad choices

i've made mistakes

got no more time for cheap thrills

i've been around the world

chasing true love

and right before i came to my end

i can remember. and now everything is so good

and right now everything is just fine

and when i'm faced with troubles

i can always lean on you

and now my life is good because of you

you've changed my world and made it new

and now i know it's true

'cause

love was the reason you came here
