i know you're still hurting and you'll never forget
but don't wear your pain dear 
don't wear your regret 
you've escaped from the lies that he told you 
you've escaped from deceit
you stood alone until finally i found you
believe if you give love you'll only receive

you don't need a reason to love me
you don't need a reason to care
when you wake in the morning you'll find i'll always be there
you don't need a reason to want me 
you don't need a reason to stay 
just believe in yourself and you'll find love somewhere out there

i can see now you're thinking if i'll do the same
if i'll give you all of my heart then take it away
you're old enough to swallow a bad time and still breathe
it's time you unchained from the past
all that i am is everthing you need

you don't need a reason to love me
you don't need a reason to care
when you wake in the morning you'll find i'll always be there
you don't need a reason to want me 
you don't need a reason to stay 
just believe in yourself and you'll find love somewhere out there

so hard to believe you're the same girl that you used to be
it's painful to see you're still hurting
when all you need now is the love that lies inside me, me , me

you don't need a reason to love me
you don't need a reason to care
when you wake in the morning you'll find i'll always be there
you don't need a reason to want me 
you don't need a reason to stay
just believe in yourself and you'll find love somewhere out there
