[Verse 1] The morning light comes soft and slow I trace your face, the only warmth I know There were nights I couldn't find the ground But you stayed close, you turned me around [Pre-Chorus ] When the weight was too much to carry alone You became my shelter, my home [Chorus ] You are my reason, you are my one You bring the feeling, you bring the fun Your the reason I'm still breathing air Your the person that kept me here Your the girl, the soul, the woman and love The partner that protects me from fear (Your my one) [Verse 2] I was drowning in the quiet dark You found me there, you lit the spark Every scar, every broken part You held it all, you held my heart [Pre-Chorus ] When I had nothing left to believe You gave me something, you gave me me [Chorus ] You are my reason, you are my one You bring the feeling, you bring the fun Your the reason I'm still breathing air Your the person that kept me here Your the girl, the soul, the woman and love The partner that protects me from fear (Your my one) [Bridge ] I don't know where I'd be without your hand You pulled me back, helped me understand That love is more than just a word we say It's you, right here, every single day (Your my one) [Chorus ] You are my reason, you are my one You bring the feeling, you bring the fun Your the reason I'm still breathing air Your the person that kept me here Your the girl, the soul, the woman and love The partner that protects me from fear (Your my one) [Outro ] You are my reason You are my one (Your my one) The reason I'm still here
