Hoobastank - The Reason (Acoustic Cover by Dave Winkler) 

FULLY LYRICS 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 was a combat medic in the Army and went through extensive trauma that caused severe PTSD. I had been married to my husband and never talked about what I had experienced. I didn't know how to handle the rapid series of extreme emotions I was experiencing. My PTSD caused me to change in more than one way and it wasn't for the better. I finally told him what I had been through and experienced after being married 7 years. In those 7 years I caused him pain because I didn't know how to handle my pain. His love, compassion, understanding and support never waivered. How he was able to handle the pain was beyond me. After I told him, I started seeking outside help and began to process everything. It was the turning point in our marriage. I found a reason for me to change, it was because of him. We've been married 20 years. We have 5 children (18, 16, 16, 14 & 8) I wouldn't be the better me if it wasn't for his love and patience. This song says everything........to say the least. Your cover of this is great song is the best I've heard

I lost my mom 2 years ago.. this was our song. your cover of it is beautiful and i know she would like it! thanks for posting it! ☺️

I don't know what's better. Him or the panorama in the background 😍

Thank you for gifting us with this incredible repertoire of songs. Thank God I was born at a time when good music really existed. I was happy and I really knew I was happy. Despite life's adversities, I consider myself a happy man

🎉 The reason is you....that is why l am listening. Excellent performance and video. ❤ Gracious greetings from coastal Mississippi 👋

The mountains are a phenomenal place to be regardless of the country … gorgeous

10 years passes still this song is closest to the heart

Perfect tempo, beautiful tone, and the guitar wasn't overly loud like the other artists. This cover is perfect. Thank you.

I read that many people lost people they loved and this song reminds them of them, I just wanted them to remember that they now are angeles that always will take care of you and protect you from heaven and that they will always love you very much ♡♡♡ you have all our support ♡♡♡

Good job RU-vid for this recommandation 👌

Not sure if I'm more amazed by his talent or by the beauty of the scenario or by both together. Such a beautiful place! God's creation never stops impressing me.

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 stop listening to it! I already replayed 5 times

I love the landscape and match with his voice = perfect.

So beautiful. The perfect place and the perfect song ♥️

Growing up, my dad use to walk me to school back then when this song was a hit. Now he's moved on with his new family, whenever I walk on those familiar roads alone, I wish my dad was walking together with me. 😔

This Man sing with his real voice. Perfect pitch. I think he is capable to sing very low and very high.

omg i love this song and this version just make me fly away in old memories , beautifull times and memories

Your covers are relaxing. I like your version better. Keep it up like this. I'd love to play the guitar like you hope to.

El mejor paisaje que he visto, y con una guitarra como acompañante en ese lugar.... Pfff que afortunado de vivir allí

This boy deserves a million subscriber coz he's so very talented and great voice

Excellent cover ! But man the location and that lake 👍 with the boat 🚣‍♀️😃in the background

He is absolutely a incredible artist that knows how to do a cover of a great song...I love it

There’s everything great in this video! I can’t understand why there’s so few subscribers in your channel, you’re talented, I hope you’ll become really famous one day

Don't worry. You’re not only one listening to this masterpiece in 09/2021

Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a 💓 heart of Mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience. Bear with one another and forgive one another, if anyone has a grievance against any other; even as the Lord has forgiven you, so also do you forgive. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection. What ever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. God Blessed.

Apenas conocí esta canción y la verdad me encanta, me gusta su ritmo y en lo que dice ✨🧐

It's cool how you got all those voice effects, dubs, looping and reverb with no electrical power or other devices out by a lake!

I love this song and I'm sure that Doug Robb has written you something beautiful, he is very kind❤

Nice last name. And of course....superb cover.

This song reminds me of a very good time in my life.

Wieder mal 'ne mega Leistung!!! Auch ein kleines Lob an die tapferen Seemänner bei 2:50.

My fiance dedicated this song to me after our rocky relationship led to the pregnancy of our beautiful daughter Penelope Bean Lewis! Unfortunatley her proud papa passed away exactly one week after her 3rd birthday...in 2007. I will never forget the tearfilled dedication as long as i live!!!
