Well we change from one extreme to another
Can you help me with my shame
I didn´t mean to when I kicked and punched
From nowhere this demon came

Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don´t use me for the devil´s food
And throw away the key

Give me a reason so I´ve got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I´ve got
Something else to blame

I only meant to wipe away the cries
With the softness of my hand
I didn´t mean to break the tie
I´m after all a family man

Give me a reason so I´ve got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I´ve got
Something else to blame

Give me the reason
Give me a reason

I am the master of this house
Don´t try to run away
I tried the same things at your age
And I was also made to pay

Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Don´t use me for the devil´s food
And throw away the key

Mister patience and Misses alike
Upon and throughout the land
A lot of attention
With a heap of affection
Wouldn´t go astray

Give me a reason so I´ve got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so I´ve got
Something else to blame

This is the reason, one of the reasons

I am the reason so I´ve got only myself to blame
I am the reason so I´ve got no-one else to blame
