All Because of You
the days have passed slowly by
as you stood by me
trying to say good-bye
without causing to much pain
a true fools errand
if you look at the past
everything that has happened
all the little aces and pains
maybe we weren't meant to be
that is what you are saying
hoping i will one day understand
that not all people are man enough to stay
that not all women are you
maybe one day you can explain to everyone
how you could live with yourself
after walking out, after lying
after allowing someone to hurt you the way he did
for putting up wit it, for calling your youngest a liar
when there was nothing to lie about
when he told you the truth
the saying let dead dogs lie cant fit here
she still haunts my dreams
killing me by touching me
there is nothing to do but sleep
hope it will end
when really if you were there you would have known
i didn't lie, there wasn't a reason
i never wanted anyone to know
it's been held against me ever since
all because of you
