Author's Note: this is my first Night World fanfic. Go easy on 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 sat to listen to the song. It reminded me so much of Mary-Lynnette and I. My Mary-Lynnette. I was changing for her. I was learning things I never knew before. She was….

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

….the reason that I was changing. The reason that I joined Daybreak. I was doing this, slaying dragon's, for her. She's the reason.

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with every day

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 know that I've hurt her, and many others. I wish I could take away the pain. I know that she's just a depressed as I am right now. I just wish I could hold her in my arms and tell her it would all be Okay. That I would always keep her save.

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 a new person now. And though it kills me to say so, James was right. Damn him! Mary-Lynnette is the reason I'm doing this, the reason I keep moving on, the reason why I'm alive, the reason why I look at the stars every night. She was mine. My reason. My Mare.

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

She's my reason.


Corny, cheesy, I know. But this song is so Ash and Mary-Lynnette!
