Reasons I Give

Verse One:
In darkness, I've lost my way
And now, I'm all alone
Everything I used to know
I've forgotten them though
I've tried to remember-

But in darkness, you shone
You let me take your hand
'cause then, you understood
All the pain in my heart
I'll hope we never part...

Chorus:
Because I can be who I want to be
Because I can live the way I live
But only when,
But only when you're with me

Because with you, I'll be free
Because with you, I'll be me
But only when,
But only when you're with me
All these reasons I give-
I hope you'll forgive
I hope you'll forgive

Verse Two:
But now as I watch you leave
I'm all alone again
The light that I used to see
I've forgotten it though
I've tried to remember...

And if you didn't love me
Couldn't you have just pretended?
You were the only to know
All the pain in my heart
Why do we have to part?

Chorus:
Because I can be who I want to be
Because I can live the way I live
But only when,
But only when you're with me

Because with you, I'll be free
Because with you, I'll be me
But only when,
But only when you're with me
All these reasons I give-
I hope you'll forgive
I hope you'll forgive

Bridge:
So please don't go
I miss you so
I didn't know what to say
The day you want away
And I'll never been so sad
You've never made me mad
Until now.

And I've lost my way
Ever since that day
Forgotten everything
Were you just a fling?
I don't understand
You were the only one
To know.

When you're with me...

Chorus:
(Because) I can be who I want to be
(Because) I can live the way I live
But only when,
But only when you're with me

Because with you, I'll be free
Because with you, I'll be me
But only when,
But only when you're with me
All these reasons I give-
I hope you'll forgive
I hope you'll forgive

Because I can be who I want to be
But only when you're with me...

And all these reasons I give-
I hope you'll forgive.
I hope you'll forgive.

Author notes

Based on the lines, "All these reasons I give/I hope you'll forgive" and "Because I can who I want to be/But only when you're with me". It was written supposedly with a duet in mind. Why those lines? They belong on my current LJ layout, and the two lines had suddenly popped into my head while fooling around with photoshop.
