Because of You
Because of you, I learned to love
Because of you, I learned to trust
It was you who showed me how to feel
Took my dreams, made them real
You showed me what it means
To act without any fear
And seize the moment, trust your heart
To live in love and act the part
I trusted you, I loved you
And believed that you loved me
And that was real, all I could hold
That was the only truth I could see
And then one day, my world fell
Came crashing down around me
A late night call, a lie was told
And I lost all trust I’d come to know
Then the anger, and the pain
The arguments ensued
I knew inside you were hiding
But still, I believed in you
I tried to hold you, was pushed away
Both in your heart and with hands
You wouldn’t let me love you
And I just didn’t understand
Still I tried, until you screamed
And said such ugly things
That I withdrew my heart from you
Because I couldn’t stand the pain
Then one day, without a word
I watched you drive away
I waited for you to return
But you left my life that day
I remember the fear I held for you
Not knowing where you were
Never once suspecting
You had run away to her
My heart shattered, my dreams all gone
Left me wondering what I’d done wrong
I took the blame, believed your lies
And a part of me inside had died
Truth be known, the love remains
Some things inside will never change
I still want to believe your lies
Yet too often you see me cry
Because of you, my heart is torn
Because of you, I live with doubt
Afraid to step too far alone
Still waiting for the truth unknown
Not trusting anyone or anything
From the loss of faith, remembering
All the promises made and vows unspoken
A heart destroyed, but a love unbroken
I don’t know anymore who I am
And I surely don’t know who you are
You’re not the man I once loved so much
All that remains of him is my broken heart
And it’s all because of you…
