The Reason

A while back my Ma wrote these lyrics, to be sung to the tune of The Reason by Hoobastank.

 

These lyrics are what a rescued rat would sing once chosen by you…

I’m not a perfect pet rat.

I had been left alone and in the cold.

But now you’ve come looking for me

I brux and boggle when I hear your voice.

And secretly you are my perfect choice.

This is why you should know.

You came and you rescued me

You came and you wanted me

You came and made me feel free

And now I’m safe, I’m with you.

You taught me how to trust again

You wiped my red stained tears all away

You showed me how to live again

My sky became so blue instead of grey

Our bond keeps growing every single day

And that’s why you need to know

I may not have long to live,

I may just have one or two years,

Or I may be here just for this day

But at least I’m with you.

And to live with you

And to live with you

And to live with you

I don’t care for my future

I don’t remember what has passed me by

I don’t need to look back and wonder why

Today is all I can see

You know how you make me feel

Your touch is always so real

And when I gaze into your eyes

I’ll always love you

You came and you rescued me

You came and you wanted me

And you made me feel free

And now my life is with you.
